Any face-up card can be moved onto another card on the Tableaus if it is in descending order of alternating colors, e.g. 8 of Hearts on a 9 of clubs or Jack of spades on Q of Diamonds. You can also move multiple cards at a time if they are already in descending order of alternating colors. In addition to using cards from the Tableaus, you can also play cards out of the Stock/Deck. You can choose (in settings) if you would like to pull 3 cards or 1 card at a time from the Stock. When a Tableau column is completely empty, the available space can be filled with a King. As they become available, cards from Ace to King can be moved from the Stock or the Tableaus to the Foundations. We are here to help: You will learn quickly, we promise! If you get stuck, tap on any card and the app will automatically make a valid move if one exists.

Read full description

BlockMyBlocks is a balance game for the whole family. Every deck moves — a springy table, a wobble tower, a rocking board, a tray hung on ropes, a see-saw — and the whole game is keeping the weight over the middle. Place a piece and watch the deck answer. Feel it lean. Put the next one on the other side. When you think it will hold, press Ready. WHAT IS IN IT • 5 decks, every one of which moves • 130 pieces, each with a real weight you can feel • 5 age bands, from three-year-olds to grown-ups • Levels that never run out THE LEVELS ARE GENERATED Nothing was drawn by hand and stored. A level is a pure function of its number, so the ladder never ends and level 40,000 costs exactly what level 1 costs. A new place to play appears every ten levels, and each chapter needs stars banked before it opens. MADE FOR ALL AGES, PROPERLY The age band changes what the game is, not how fast it goes. A three-year-old gets big pieces on a wide table with nothing to lose. A grown-up gets narrow decks, awkward shapes and a real gale. Same engine, genuinely different games. BUILT FOR CHILDREN • No advertising of any kind, and no advertising identifiers • No accounts, no sign-in, no chat, no data leaves the device • Works completely offline — the whole game is inside the app • Every purchase sits behind a parent gate ACCESSIBILITY Screen reader support, larger text, reduced motion, captions, audio description, and state shown as words and shapes rather than colour alone. BLOCKS+ • Blocks+ Monthly — $9.99 • Blocks+ Yearly — $89.99 The first 30 levels and three of the five age bands are free. Blocks+ opens the endless ladder and the two hardest bands.
