Editorial Review

Never mind the Tower of Babel or the Leaning Tower of Pisa--when playing Blockhead!, the nerve-racking stacking game from Pressman, you may end up Babel-ing every time you place one Pisa the game atop another. Each of the 20 brightly painted wooden pieces is oddly shaped, posing a challenge to any players (or player--Blockhead! is a great solitaire game, too) trying to stack them. Making the stack tumble twice is cool, but spill it a third time, blockhead, and you're out, leaving you to a-spire to new heights next game. --Tony Mason

4.0 out of 5 stars Grandma has the best toys, December 19, 2000

This review is from: Pressman Blockhead (Toy)

My son went to Grandma's for a week during summer break. He comes home and says she has the best toys for everyone to play. Can we get some like hers? He fell in love with blockhead because it is actually harder than it looks. The colors are cool and he can't break it because it is NOT cheap plastic. Good things to consider when your son is 8. The idea is to balance the blocks in such a way that your opponent has more difficulty stacking their blocks. Takes manual control and thinking ahead to win. Good skill building.

3.0 out of 5 stars Crazy Crown Box 2009 Edition, August 13, 2009

Pressman Toy Corporation has repackaged the "Blockhead!" game in a colorful flip top box that resembles the crazy crown block. It differs from the previous edition (1996) in that it now features a wooden base instead of the orange card stock base. The 20 wooden blocks are painted in vibrant green, yellow, red, orange, and dark blue. One of the tall bridge blocks has been replaced with a basic rectangle block. The grooves on the two bridge blocks are more shallow but still fit the large and small roller blocks. There seems to be better quality control employed in the overall finish of these blocks. No Spanish game instructions. I would like to see Pressman reissue a retro version of this game featuring the 25 blocks in the same dimensions and colors as the Saalfield Publishing Company classic square box edition from 1954.

This Blockhead has a paper base and NOT wood as the original one has. It is not as good in fact the one i bought the base was warped.
