This is a two-player dexterity game where players take turns putting colored cubes on an imbalanced seesaw. You place cubes until the seesaw tips over on your side, and any cubes that fall off you have to keep. The goal is to get rid of all your cubes.

I found this game rather entertaining, despite its simplicity. There were lots of interesting things to try, as the see-saw had small ridges for the cubes to rest on.
