HABA Rhino Hero: The Ultimate Stacking and Balancing Board Game (New Edition)

Meet Rhino Hero, the caped crusader who is big on courage but a little heavy on his feet. In this thrilling 3D stacking game by HABA, players are tasked with helping our hero scale a skyscraper made entirely of cards. This updated edition features the same high-stakes balancing act that has made it a favorite worldwide, packaged in a fresh, modern design perfect for young builders and their families.

Key Benefits

Enhances Fine Motor Control:** Building a house of cards requires a steady hand. Players must carefully place folded wall cards and flat roof cards, significantly improving hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity.

Encourages Strategic Planning:** Every move involves a choice. Players must decide which roof cards to play to challenge their opponents while ensuring the tower remains stable enough for their own future turns.

Boosts Focus and Concentration:** Success in Rhino Hero requires a keen eye. Children learn the value of patience and "Observation/Focus" as the tower grows taller and more precarious with every level.

Inclusive Family Play:** While specifically designed for children as young as five, the tension and skill required make it a hit for adults as well, making it a true "5–99" year experience for the whole family.

Fast-Paced Engagement:** With a typical play time of just 15 minutes, it is the perfect game for quick sessions, classroom breaks, or as an exciting addition to a busy game night.
