Unless you’re living under a rock, you’re familiar with Nintendo’s Mario Bros. — you know, the mushroom-eating, fireball-spitting, Goomba-stomping pair of plumbers who have been pop culture staples since they first hit the scene way back in 1985 (yes, it’s really been that long!). And thanks to the fact that The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been going absolutely gangbusters since its release earlier this month, Mario, Luigi, and the gang are experiencing a fresh moment in the limelight. Suddenly, Mario merch is on every kid’s hotlist — so when we saw that there was a fun Mario tabletop game for the whole family to play, and that it was on sale (even better), we had to share! With over 8,000 nearly-perfect ratings, this deal is too good to pass up.
The Super Mario Blow Up! Shaky Tower Balancing Game, best for two or more players ages 4 and up, includes everything you need for a fun family game: the shaky tower, seven unique Super Mario figurines including Mario, Luigi, Toad, Yoshi, Yellow Toad, Goomba, and Boo, and gameplay die. Players take turns rolling the die to determine how many figures they’ll need to place on — or take off — the tower. But don’t make the tower shake, or the whole thing could go toppling over!
It’s not just the game that’s a draw; reviewers say the figurines are just as fun as the game itself! “This game is a great find for any Mario fan. It’s a pretty simple game, but the best part is the included figures,” says one. “My 6 year old grandson was more excited to have them than playing the actual game so you can’t go wrong with this. It’s relatively inexpensive and kids love it. I definitely recommend.”
Even better? Those figurines are compatible with another fun tabletop game from Epoch — which also happens to be on sale for 25% off right now! For 2-4 players ages 4+, Piranha Plant Escape is exactly what it sounds like: the dreaded Piranha Plant will randomly attack and knock a player off the board, so the goal is to be the last one standing. This game also comes with two figurines: Mario and Luigi!
The Mario Bros. are great for gaming — whether it’s on your Nintendo Switch or your kitchen table. And at 25% off, what’s not to love? Let’s-a goooo!
