High above the mortal world, the gods of Olympus wage their eternal contest for power.
The Battle for Mount Olympus is more than a dexterity game, it is a mythic trial, a clash of chaos and order, where Gods teeter on the edge of downfall. Featuring the 12 Olympian gods (+Extra expansion pieces), each figure is uniquely shaped, as if hand carved into marble pieces, exaggerated in form so that they may interlock, clash, or balance in surprising ways. Shaped not only to honor them, but to test your dexterity, patience, and cunning against the fickle balance of fate.
How to Play
The goal of The Battle for Mount Olympus is simple: stack all the gods without toppling the tower!
The battle begins upon a starter pedestal, a carved foundation stone that steadies the first God. From there, fate hangs in the balance: each new figure tips the scales of destiny.
Each player must carefully balance the figures, piece by piece, until the pantheon stands tall.
Think the 12 Olympians are too easy? Try your skill with the expansion pieces. Each addition raises the stakes and the challenge! Will your Mount Olympus rise to glory or collapse in chaos??
Game Tips: Struggling to get your tower built?
Choosing a strong starter piece is critical, find a piece that offers multiple catch points (ex: upside down/angled Artemis, Cerberus or Hydra). Avoid rounded edges such as Medusa's tail, Ares' shield or Dionysus' barrel.
Create hooks and anchors! Every piece offers multiple unique “hooks”, so make sure you are taking advantage of those to interlock the pieces to create secure holds! (ex: the wings on Hermes' shoes or the hammer of Hephaestus).
Counter weights! If your piece or whole tower starts leaning to one side, use another heavier piece (ex: Dionysus or Medusa) to shift the weight the other direction.
Don't be afraid to go back and add pieces to a lower section. You'd be surprised how stable the lower part of the tower is once there are multiple pieces putting weight on the lower section.
Printed in Bambu White Marble for that authentic marble carved look! (No better way to really get an appreciation for the filament than with this print!)

🏛️ The Pedestal of Olympus
We recommend beginning every game with a base piece. This carved foundation anchors the bottom piece, providing extra support and balance management. By stabilizing the opening move, the base piece ensures a stable start, while still leaving the rest of Olympus to the whims of fate and shaky hands.
The Pedestal: The original starter piece. Designed with a higher center of gravity and smaller footprint. This piece will test your ability to manage the weight distribution of your tower. Sized to allow one God to be held in place tightly via friction.
The Collapsed Pillar:For those looking for a more casual experience. The pillar is designed with a low center of gravity and extra stability to help prevent your tower from tilting. Great for younger players or those having difficulty completing a tower. Sized to allow one to three Gods to be held in place tightly via friction.
