This box of 64 slot-together cards was a bit of a surprise; I didn’t expect to have so much fun creating a little art deco card city with the whole family. We organized the types of cards, picked our favorites, and put them together. Then we earthquake and wind tested them. Total destruction and some laughter. We made revisions and tested again.
These Build a Skyscraper cards by illustrator Paul Farrell are thicker than playing cards and really nicely printed. And they’re fun for creative, non-competitive play, too. A new favorite. Find this set locally or at Book Depository,Amazon, or Bookshop.org. There’s also a Build a Castleset.
