Blockhead!

is a simple tabletop game suitable for children four years of age or older.

Originally consisting of 20 brightly colored wooden blocks of varying shapes, the object of the game is to add blocks to a tower without having it collapse on your turn.

Each player then takes turns adding a single block until the tower collapses.

In 1954 Saalfield Publishing Company released the first 25-block version of the game.

The design of the blocks has remained consistent through each edition, the only change being modifying the yellow “double hump” to be more heart-shaped.
