This is definitely one of the more unusual offerings from our German friends. An assortment of oddly shaped wooden blocks are placed onto a round. wooden ‘platter.’ The platter has a cork ball on its underside. which is then placed on top of a conical stand. The trick is that the oddly shaped pieces are to be removed one-by-one. which has a high probability of upsetting the whole contraption’s delicate balance. The bigger the piece that you remove when it’s your turn. the more points you’ll score. but you have a higher likelihood of spilling everything. which scores you negative points.
