AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a tower made up of 48 maple hardwood blocks, which are stacked in rows, with alternating levels at a right angle to each other. The blocks are cut to a length of 2⅞" and can be at different heights. In some embodiments, there are 16 blocks at 0.59" height, 16 blocks at 0.60" height, and 16 blocks at 0.61" height. By randomly assembling these blocks at different heights, the tower can shift in weight during play. This allows for a more dynamic and unstable play experience.

Problems solved by technology

Attempts have been made, although unsuccessfully, increase the level of difficulty and the entertainment of the game.
By limiting the number of blocks which can be removed, the level of difficulty of the game is increased.
As can be seen, various attempts have been made to solve the problems which may be found in the related art but have been unsuccessful.
However, it is still desirable to provide a stacking game with increasing levels of entertainment and further greater levels of difficulty by engaging players in performing activities as part of the game.
