Review: A Fun Wooden Animal Stacking Game - Animal Upon Animal is a fantastic 4-player kids dexterity game. Our 5 year old loves this game and it always leads to one or two more games - high praise indeed! Each player has seven animals to place in turn on the crocodile. Which animal is chosen and who places it, is determined by the roll of the large red die. The players keep stacking up the pyramid of wooden animals (or extending it sideways, if allowed). If the stack collapses, two are retained by the player placing the animal and the rest are discarded out of the game - thereby reducing the frustration of knowing you've lost if the whole stack collapses. First player to place all their animals wins. There is some player interaction and 'take that' moments can occur on some of the die rolls - it's possible to house rule these die rolls if this aspect of the game proves too frustrating. The pieces are colourful and well made and have sufficiently textured designs to really interlock with one another. I cannot find fault with the production or the pieces, the clarity of the rules nor the enjoyment of playing the game. For the 4/5+ year old and family market it is aimed at, I thoroughly recommend it. And if they don't like it ... well, it's a great 29 piece wooden animal play set!
Review: We play every evening over dinner - 7 & 9 year old love this very simple and re-playable game. It’s essentially stacking irregular shapes on an irregular shape. Think wonky jenga. It’s very fun and we enjoy a quick game at any time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this made in Germany?**
A: Yes, this game is made in HABA's home factory in Bad Rodach, Germany. The pieces are made from solid wood and colored with a non-toxic water based stain.

**Q: This seems like it would hold the attention of a 3-4 year  old. Do older children really like it?**
A: Oh, I'd say definitely too. My 4 1/2 year old daughter absolutely loves it, as does her 39 yo daddy.  We've had games with her, the two 30something year old parents, and a 68 year old grandpa and all had a blast. One of the best features is that younger kids can play it alone, too, and have fun by practicing stacking the blocks.  Or really anyone for that matter.

**Q: How many total pieces (animals) are there in the box?**
A: There are a total of 29 Wooden animals.

**Q: Some reviewers say the pieces are too small; others say they're a good size.  What is your opinion? Which version of the game do you have?  Thanks!**
A: We have the large version. The pieces are smaller than you might expect from the photos--remember these are children's hands you see, and the photo gives the illusion that the pieces are fairly large. Most of the pieces are 1 to 1 1/2 inches high. And they are very smooth, so they slip off each other easily. My 4 year old grandson is a master builder with blocks of all sizes, both wooden and plastic--but he reached frustration level very quickly trying to balance these. So, I would think twice about the age and dexterity of the child you are buying this for. That said, he did enjoy just playing with the pieces and telling stories. We like the concept, the wood pieces are nicely made, and we plan on having lots of fun playing the game itself, but probably not until he's 5.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kids dexterity game
*by F***A on 6 June 2016*

We bought this for our nieces - 4 & 5 at the time - after playing it at our games club. Its a fun game, which consists of a group of well-made wooden animal pieces in different colours, cleverly shaped and ridged so its possible to stack them in a variety of ways. The winner is the player who stacks all their animals first - but beware, if you knock the stack over, you have to add the pieces to your stock and start all over again! Good family fun.
