Description

ButaBabel is a quick and strategic card game where players, represented as pigs, compete to build the tallest Tower of Babel using rock-paper-scissors cards. Each turn, players select cards to stack their tower, but building too high risks destruction from an angry God. The game ends when all cards are played, and the player with the highest tower within the safe limit wins.

In ButaBabel, players must balance risk and strategy, knowing when to build up and when to hold back to avoid penalties. The game’s simple mechanics and fast-paced play make it ideal for families and friends looking for a quick, fun, and competitive challenge. The 2016 reissue, Onibaberu, brought a new theme based on the Touhou Project, where players act as tengus and kappas at a demon’s banquet, balancing their “drinks” to avoid overconsumption penalties.
