TIPPLE (a balancing game)

This is a game my son and I came up with (He's 8). He liked Tetris and said to me one day "we should make a tetris game where people take turns putting pieces on a balance"...so we started designing it. I printed each set of pieces in a different color so that you can play it with 2 people, or 4 people. You can also play it with 3, you just take turns with the last set of pieces if you get that far.

The rules are simple. Each person takes a turn to place 1 piece onto the tipple...when you remove your hand from the piece, your turn is over, if any other pieces fall, you lose! We allowed you to use 2 hands while balancing your piece, but once you are done, you remove your hands and see what happens. We have had only 1 game (out of dozens played) use all the pieces, ...if all the pieces are onboard and all balanced...you tie.

You may notice that each of the pieces is 4 cubes, just different shapes made with those 4 cubes, this is to make each piece the same relative weight. S
