Slide, or press the left and right arrow keys, to choose where the piece lands; tap your stack to aim at that spot. Then press Drop it, or Enter.

How to Play

  • Each round, both sides get the same piece: graham, chocolate or marshmallow. The left side goes first.
  • A piece sits on the one below it. Land it dead centre for a perfect drop, and keep perfect drops going for a bigger streak.
  • Graham, chocolate, marshmallow, graham, in that order, is a proper s'more and earns a big bonus.
  • If the weight of the pile slips past the edge of what holds it, the stack falls and that side loses. Miss the stack entirely and the piece is lost.
  • After twelve rounds the taller, higher-scoring stack wins.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Game

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. Slide the bar or tap your stack to aim, then tap Drop it. It works on a keyboard too: arrow keys to aim, Enter to drop.

Can two people play?

Yes. Choose "Two people, one screen" and pass the device back and forth, left side first. You can also play the computer, or watch two computers play each other.

Why did my stack fall?

Every layer above has weight, and when the middle of that weight slips past the edge of the layer below, the pile tips. Aim near the middle of the layer below, and the stack stays up longer.

What is a proper s'more?

Graham, chocolate, marshmallow, then graham on top, stacked in that order. It scores a bonus the moment you finish it.

Hungry for more?
