So close to the finish line – and then overtaken, blocked, or knocked out of the game? Welcome to BAUBYLON, the dice game from Gerhards Spiel und Design that turns composure into high performance. This strategic tactics game for the whole family takes you to new heights – both literally and figuratively.
Before the game begins, the players themselves set up the playing field. Using 40 solid beechwood blocks, they create a custom-designed course with varying elevations and a summit. The higher the structure is built, the more challenging the path to victory. Six red blocking blocks are strategically placed – they stand, lie down, block paths, or wait to be moved by other players.
Then it begins: with dice, tactics, and plenty of emotion! To start the game, you must roll at least a three – only then can you make your first move across the starting tile, which is lying flat. After that, it's all about blocking, moving, displacing, pushing – and sometimes even knocking other players out. Every game is an emotional tightrope walk between triumph and frustration, sympathy and schadenfreude, elation and defeat.
The game components remain composed: crafted with meticulous precision by Gerhards Spiel und Design, the beechwood building elements withstand every mood swing. BAUBYLON is not just a game, but a true stress test with a guaranteed good time, where you laugh, suffer – and yet still want to play again and again.
Inhale, exhale, carry on. Welcome to BAUBYLON.
