Overview
You start by placing the crocodile on a flat surface. Players then select seven creatures for their pile. Each turn, you roll the dice then must place that many creatures on top of the crocodile. You win if you use all your pieces first without toppling the pile.
As you play, the tower becomes taller and wider, so the difficulty of stacking increases. Players must use their physical dexterity and decision making to decide where best to place their animals. What starts as a simple stacking game, quickly becomes a clever balancing act between adding your pieces, whilst making it more difficult for your opponents to do the same.
