Villa Paletti

Villa Paletti

An architectural rush to the skies for 2 - 4 budding architects with a good head for heights from 8 years old.

In the land where the Lemons bloom, there once lived a wise old sage, whose friends called him "Paletti" He only had one goal in life, to finish the wonderful castle in the sky that his grandfather had begun to build many years before, but which had been left unfinished when the ducats ran out. Paletti too had little money, but instead he had a marvelous plan. Why buy new columns when he could re-use the old ones that his Grandfather had built? All he needed to do was remove some of those holding up the first floor, of which there were far too many in any case, and rebuild them further up, so that they could support new floors, reaching up towards the skies!

"Excellent, Paletti" shouted his friends, and they quickly started to work. Soon they had a marvelous building in front of them, the "Villa Paletti". Nowadays, no one knows what it was caused the collapse of the Vila Paletti, perhaps a puff of wind, or a slight earth tremor, but all the experts are united on one point, that Paletti, far ahead of his time, was the first to discover something whose full importance is only now starting to become clear to us, the Euro pallet!

this reminds me a bit of Jenga. Its amazing how those platform "pallets" can balance with just two or three columns holding them up! Interesting dexterity game

Been wanting to get Villa Paletti but It always gets replaced with another game in my wishlist.  Most dexterity games are fun with more people playing and since I usually just game with a few people, I'm guessing it won't get played that often.  I have Jenga and it's been months to years since we've played it.  But it's definite enjoyment for mostly everyone when it hits the table.

I was able to tinker with this one time, I think I was waiting for my friends and then wala akong magawa so I tried forming things with it.
