About this board game

Animal Upon Animal: Small and Yet Great! is a stacking game for exactly two players, designed to take about 15 minutes. Players compete to build a shared animal pyramid by carefully placing their animals one by one without letting any fall.

The Animal Pyramid World Championships are under way, and the grand finale is about to begin. Each player takes on the challenge of stacking animals as skillfully as possible, aiming to become the next Animal Tower Stacking World Champion.

A die determines the conditions for each step of the stacking challenge. It indicates how many animals can be stacked, as well as where and who shall stack them. Players must respond to these instructions while keeping the growing pyramid stable.

  • Build a collective pyramid from stacked animals.
  • Use the die to determine the stacking conditions.
  • Keep the animals from falling off.
  • Be the first player to stack all of your animals.

The central challenge in Animal Upon Animal: Small and Yet Great! is simple to understand but demands careful placement. Every animal added to the pyramid brings the players closer to victory while keeping the risk of a collapse in focus.

With its quick 15-minute play time and two-player format, this 2011 game delivers a focused animal-stacking contest. Stay skillful, follow the die, and complete the pyramid before your opponent.
