Description Description
In Rafter Five, you and your fellow players want to build as large a raft as possible — but you want to end up being the only one who can board it.

To start, stack the box top and bottom to create a base, then place the five wooden rafter pieces on the starting card on top of the base.

On a turn, lift a rafter, place a raft card on the playing area, replace the rafter, then place one of your treasure chests somewhere on the raft...ideally in a precarious position because if someone else knocks off this chest, they must keep it in their hold. If a player collects five treasure chests owned by other players in their hold, they're out of the game! (You can knock off your own chests without penalty, but you're making the game easier for everyone else.)

This stuck out to me as a unique dexterity game, flexible with pieces that fit together almost anywhere, and not prearranged walls or corners. I think it really challenges players with concepts besides "don't make it fall" because here you want to bait opponents into falling. And the multi-shaped people that help keep the raft balanced, that idea is implied in many games but here it's the central question. I think what's magical here is how a figure is holding down a plank, then planks overlap on that one.... can it stand on its own now, or not? That's what makes the game feel new, always morphing into something else, yet instantly intuitive.

Really fun and silly dexterity game! easy to teach, plays fast and still has some decision space with the nails and joints rules. Just what I want from a small box dexterity game

We kind of like to think we know our dexterity games, and also that we'd seen it all but apparently not. There's a LOT of game in this little box. Very very clever. Also this one very clearly motivates you to make a really tough situation for your opponent/s, and like Men At Work when someone messes up the game isn't over which is AWESOME. Love love love it.

PAXU-23. Great pocket dex game. Don't let the size fool you, it packs a lot of fun in a small box.

Dexterity game, building a raft with cards. Super simple and delightfully engaging.
