Blockhead is a brilliantly simple balancing game that brings out the wobbly hands and belly laughs. Released in 1976, it’s one of those games that anyone can pick up and play – no fancy rules, just nerve, precision, and a bit of cheeky sabotage. The goal? Stack the blocks as high as you can without sending the tower crashing down. Sounds easy… until the blocks get weird shapes and even weirder angles!
How to Play Everyone takes turns placing one block at a time onto the growing tower. You can only use one hand, and once you pick a block, you’re stuck with it! The first few rounds are just practice, but after that, if the tower topples on your turn – that’s a strike. You’re allowed two tumbles, but on the third… you're out! The last player standing wins. And if you're playing solo, there’s a solitaire mode too – see how high you can go before everything comes crashing down.
Why Rent Blockhead (1976) is ideal for parties, family nights, or even as an icebreaker. It’s quick to set up, hilarious to play, and suitable for all ages. Whether you’re five or ninety-five, everyone loves the challenge of defying gravity with colourful blocks and a shaky hand. It’s the perfect pick for light-hearted fun and competitive chaos.
