About this board game

Make ‘n’ Break: Extreme is a timed building game for 2–4 players, with each game lasting about 30 minutes. Players race against the clock to recreate building plans revealed one at a time from a deck of cards.

Each card presents a construction challenge with a difficulty level. Complete a plan successfully to earn its listed number of points, with harder builds rewarding more points. The game puts both speed and accuracy at the center of every turn.

Players must also watch their opponents’ constructions closely. If you spot an error in another player’s build, call it out; an incorrect construction costs that player the points associated with the card.

  • For 2–4 players
  • Approximately 30 minutes of play time
  • Building plans revealed from a deck of cards
  • More difficult builds are worth more points
  • Errors can be called, causing points to be lost
  • The game ends after three rounds

Make ‘n’ Break: Extreme adds 10 new and different shapes compared with the original Make ‘N’ Break. These shapes create new and more challenging tasks, giving the game its distinctive extreme twist while preserving the central race to complete each plan.

After three rounds, the player with the most points becomes the champion builder. Released in 2007, the game combines quick construction challenges, escalating difficulty, and opportunities to penalize mistakes for a competitive tabletop experience.
