Ravensburger Make 'n' Break Family Building Game

Make 'n' Break turns family game night into a frantic race against the clock, where every second counts and every block matters. Unlike turn-based board games, this award-winning challenge has all players building simultaneously, rolling the die to determine their time limit, and racing to recreate the structure on the card before the timer buzzes. The result is a high-energy, laugh-out-loud experience that keeps everyone on the edge of their seat from start to finish.

Highlights

• Fast-paced dexterity game for 2–4 players aged 8 and up.
• Includes 10 wooden building blocks, 80 double-sided building cards (160 tasks), a timer, a die, a game board, and 4 player pawns.
• Develops spatial reasoning, hand-eye coordination, and quick problem-solving under time pressure.
• Winner of the prestigious Spiel des Jahres Recommended award in 2004.
• Easy to learn, hard to master—perfect for family game nights, parties, or as a gift.

In daily use

Every round begins with a roll of the die, which determines how much time you get—10, 15, or 20 seconds. Then you flip a building card and race to stack the blocks exactly as shown. The timer ticks loudly, adding tension while you balance shapes and angles. If you succeed, you move your pawn along the game board; if not, you stay put. The game board includes special spaces that add twists, like building with one hand or without looking at the card. Because the tasks range from simple to complex, no two games are ever the same, and players of all skill levels can compete.
