EggShell Tower

I've been thinking a lot about creating a balancing or equilibrium game, but I haven't had any ideas yet. One day, while preparing dinner for my daughters, I stacked the eggshells on top of each other while making an omelette — and voilà! That's how my balancing game came to life. I haven't seen anything similar before, but the internet is full of information, so it's possible that someone else has had the same idea. But here is my game.

There are three types of eggshell, with different angles to make the tower lean to the right or left, and one type is more difficult to stack than the others. The game is simple: just roll the dice and stack an eggshell of the same colour. Keep going until someone drops the tower! The only rule is that once an eggshell has been placed, it cannot be moved, so be careful how you place it. If you finish using all the eggshells, congratulations — you win!

In my case, I just add some colour stickers to the eggshells according to the colors of the dice that my daughters have. So just throw the dice, pick the eggshell that matches the colour of the dice, and make the tower grow! My daughters, who are 4 and 3 years old, enjoyed it, and because of the nature of the game, they can recognise colours and practise fine motor skills.

When printing them, it's nice to experiment with the scale to create more combinations. Simply reduce or increase the scale to make the game more entertaining.
