National Parenting Center Seal of Approval

Realizing that there is no way you are going to understand, much less be able to pronounce, the name of this game (believe us, we tried ourselves and failed) we'll skip right to the relevant points. Wallamoppi is a cross between pickup sticks and Jenga. There. Got it? Actually, this game, which comes from one of our more honored game inventors is quite elegant. It features wooden disks that must be carefully removed from a solid stack and placed on top of a much more precarious tower. It requires both steady nerves and hands which are made all the more jumpy with the unique wooden timer that hurries you along. Ultimately the tower will fall with a great crash which is both fun and messy.
