About the game
Drop It is a tactile dexterity game where players drop shaped pieces, circles, triangles, squares, and diamonds, into a vertical playing board and watch them bounce to unpredictable resting spots. Each piece scores points for the highest level it touches and any special locations it lands on, but touching a matching shape or color scores nothing. Certain pieces are also forbidden in certain spots, adding a layer of planning to the physical fun. Variant rules in the rulebook allow for simpler or more varied play.
Hobbli's Notes
A simple, satisfying dexterity game that's endlessly fun to watch and play, especially with kids. The unpredictability of the bounce keeps every drop exciting without ever feeling unfair.
