Offshoots – A Creative Game of Balance

Offshoots is a dexterity game where players take turns adding leafy branches to a growing tree. Each move must slot a leaf carefully without toppling the structure. The tension lies in balance, precision, and the ever‑increasing instability.

🎯 Gameplay Overview

• Recommended Age: 6 and up
• Game Type: Dexterity, Stacking, Balance, Family

🌍 Strategic & Thematic Highlights

The game consists of a trunk and base, plus a pile of identical wooden leaf pieces with slotted ends. Players must insert a leaf using a two‑slot side, sloping upward, leaving the four‑slot side outward for further attachments. You may touch and rotate the assembly while placing, but as soon as a leaf touches another it must be fixed firmly. If any leaves fall (not including the trunk), they may be reattached; but if the trunk or main structure collapses, the game ends. The winner is the player who made the last successful placement before the fall. In a rare case where all leaves are placed, you may optionally remove and reattach a leaf to continue the challenge. Despite its simplicity, Offshoots demands fine motor control and nerves of steel—especially as the tree grows and the slightest misstep can bring the whole thing crashing down.
