EPOCH Games Super Mario Blow Up Shaky Tower – Balancing Game for Kids Ages 4+
EPOCH Games Super Mario Blow Up Shaky Tower – Balancing Game for Kids Ages 4+
This Super Mario tabletop game challenges players to carefully place or remove figures from a wobbly tower without making it shake. Designed for ages 4 and up, it includes 7 unique Super Mario figures (Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, Yellow Toad, Goomba, Boo), a shake-prone tower, and a die. Roll the die to see how many figures you must add or take off—then take turns and hope the tower stays steady. If it shakes too much, Mario and his friends tumble down. It's a tense, giggle-filled multiplayer game perfect for family game night.
How the Shaky Tower Game Works
Each player rolls the die, which tells them how many figures to either place on top of the tower or remove. The tower is designed to wobble at the slightest imbalance. Strategy and a steady hand matter—if you make the tower shake and figures fall, you lose. The game continues until one player remains, making it a simple but addictive elimination game for 2 or more players.
Super Mario Figures Included
The set comes with seven collectible action figures: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, Yellow Toad, Goomba, and Boo. Each figure is roughly 1-2 inches tall and detailed enough to double as standalone toys. They are compatible with other Super Mario tabletop games from EPOCH Games, such as Balancing Games and Piranha Plant Escape, so you can mix and match across your collection.
Compatibility with Other Super Mario Games
These figures are not exclusive to the Shaky Tower. You can use them in other EPOCH Super Mario games that require figures, expanding your play options. The tower itself is game-specific, but the figures add value as a collectible set that works across multiple titles.
What Ages Is This Game For?
The manufacturer recommends ages 4 and older. Younger children may need help understanding the rules, but the simple turn-based mechanics are easy to grasp. Because the tower is lightweight and figures are small, adult supervision is advised for children under 3 to prevent choking hazards.
