Stacking block game

Abstract

A stacking block game includes a plurality of game blocks stackable in layers, and an elongate sleeve comprising four planar sides defining an interior for retaining the game blocks in layers in the interior. Apertures are provided in the sides, coincide with the game block layers and are dimensioned for passing the game blocks therethrough. The game blocks have a cuboid shape and colored indicia on the faces thereof, and are inserted in the sleeve interior in layers of four game blocks. The stacking block game is played by assigning a different indicia to each player, and then each player ejecting one of the game blocks from the sleeve interior, in turn, by pressing a previously-ejected game block through one of the apertures and against a game block opposite the game block to be ejected. Generally, each player makes a note of the indicia on the uppermost face of the previously ejected game block, and then presses that game block against the indicia of a game block in the sleeve matching the noted indicia. However, if the indicia on the uppermost face of the game block ejected on a player's turn matches that player's assigned indicia, the player repeats the turn and is entitled to press the ejected game block against any of the game blocks in the sleeve. The players take turns ejecting game blocks until all of the colored indicia adjacent one of the sides match one of the player's assigned indicia.
