Stacrobats
Practice hand-eye coordination while having big-top fun with  the Stacrobats balancing game. Start with the sturdy black plastic  base, then build a crazy tower of acrobats using the brightly colored  6-inch pieces. Each one must hang or stand on the rest without causing  the whole bunch to topple. This, of course, gets progressively more  challenging; the more players, the merrier. The 33 pieces are sturdy  and attractive, with plenty of hooks and holes for wild 3-D stacking.  Tension builds throughout, and a steady hand is harder to come by as  the game progresses, but a calm mind can win the game.--Rob  Lightner
