Catch the Moon

Fabien Riffaud, Juan Rodriguez · Studio Bombyx · 2017

Stack delicate wooden ladders on a growing tower, rolling a die to determine placement rules — touch exactly one ladder, touch exactly two, or be the highest point. When a ladder falls, you collect a tear. The dexterity challenge creates tension and laughter in equal measure.

How it plays

In Catch the Moon, players stack little wooden ladders on top of each other to reach the moon. A die tells you where your ladder must go: touching one ladder, touching two, or as high as possible.

If any ladders fall, you take a teardrop. When the teardrops run out, the player with the fewest wins. It's a gentle, beautiful dexterity game for children and families.
