Players start building from the wooden base, each player takes turns adding the wooden bulbs to the base to form a cactus. Each bulbs comes in different sizes and weights. If you put too much weight on one side then it topples over so children have to learn the correct way to build it.
It is all about strategy! The player that can build and balance the cactus without making it fall is the winner. Ideal for 1 to 4 players.
