What you need
- A standard deck of playing cards
- A flat, stable surface
Setup
- Clear a flat surface away from drafts or vents
- Decide if it's a competition or a joint build
- Set a time limit if playing head-to-head
Play prompts
- Can you build higher than your last attempt?
- Can you add a second level without collapsing the first?
- Can you make it survive a gentle table bump?
Ways to change it up
- Add a height target to beat
- Allow only one hand
- Build together as a team instead of competing
