Tower of Babel - ASHCAN + designer notes
This is an extremely rough draft of a game I'm tentatively calling "Tower of Babel". It was created for the Game Exploder jam. The idea was to create a game where you are building up a Jenga tower instead of taking blocks away from it. If you play this, please let me know how it goes! I know it needs tons of playtesting and I may or may not come back to it. Posting it this way is kind of an experiment. You can see all my unhinged notes to myself in the document that I wrote as I was writing the game.
