Wait?! This exists!? Awesome.

FUN FACTS:

  • In Israel the game is called “Mapolet”, which means “avalanche” in Hebrew.
  • The Danish name for the game is “Klodsmajor”, meaning “klutz”, with a play on words, as “klods” also means brick/block, referring to the jenga blocks. It is usually played in the style of Throw n’ Go, but with a die with red, blue and yellow faces and no ‘wild’, ‘pass’ or position options.
  • In Brazil, this game is called “Torremoto”. The name is a joke made of two Portuguese words: terremoto, which means earthquake and torre, which means tower.
  • In Spain, it is traditionally known as Hacer Caer (To Make Fall).
