Timber Tower is a classic and engaging game consisting of 54 rectangular wooden blocks in pastel hues. Players take turns removing a block from the tower and stacking it on top, using only one hand.

Each block is crafted from solid rubber wood, coated with non-toxic paint for safety, and the set is neatly stored in an open case made of durable European Birch plywood. The game offers a blend of strategy, skill, and fun, making it suitable for players of all ages.
