Drop It

Good to the last drop!

In this colorful, inventive family game, players drop shapes into the vertical game board. They earn points for the highest level that their shape reaches when it lands and extra points for touching bonus circles. But be careful: Don’t break a landing rule! The shape you dropped is not allowed to touch matching shapes or colors after it lands. The winner is the player or team with the most points at the end.

  • Play Time: 30 minutes

About the Designers

Now that he has retired, Uwe Rapp will be able to spend even more time inventing games. He is married and has two children. Bernhard Lach is an attorney in Heilbronn, Germany, and is married with three children. After over 25 years together in the Marbach chess club, the two decided to invent some games of their own. With their game ideas developed as a team, as a counterbalance to their more contemplative games of chess, they look for simple but clever game concepts with an emphasis on fun.

What do you get?

4 double-sided and interchangeable side pieces and 2 double-sided base pieces easily slide into the plastic vertical game board with base. Each player starts with 9 shapes (circles, squares, diamonds, and triangles) in their respective color (blue, red, yellow, green) to drop into play over the course of the game. Points are recorded using the colorful scoring track and wooden score markers.

At a Glance:

How to Play

On their turn, players choose a shape in their color and drop it in the vertical game board's drop zone. If the shape doesn't break any landing rules based on where it landed, you earn points. Aim for bonus points by dropping shapes to land in a bonus circle! Players take turns dropping their shapes until all have been used. Then, the player with the most points wins!

Variants

Vary the game play by playing in two teams, rather than individually. Use the side and base pieces with colors to give more weight to the color landing rules rather than the shape landing rules. Use the joker pieces (2 times per player in the course of a game) to earn points even if you broke a landing rule on a particular turn. These change-ups add variety to the game, and also cater to different skill levels.

Game Attributes

Drop It is your next game night favorite! Easy to learn and teach, this visual puzzle game is a great pick for families and friends who enjoy fast-paced strategy games that encourage friendly competition.

    We bought drop it last year. Quickly it became one of our families favorite games. Even our youngest can have a good time playing it. Unfortunately after several plays the plastic center piece began to warp making play impossible. Kinda bummed us all out. Thinking about it recently I decided to reach out to the company. They were forthright and honest about some production issues they had, and immediately offered a replacement for free. We received the new board and boy os everyone stoked!! Thanks

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun, addictive game!
    Reviewed in Canada on June 19, 2022
    I played Drop It with three family members over the weekend and we all loved it! We finished the first game and they all immediately wanted to play a second game. It's easy enough to explain to someone who's never played before and it's so fun watching your pieces fall and see if the physics are going to work for you or against you. There is definitely strategy involved figuring out the best position to drop your piece, but since they can fall in unpredictable ways, all players are on a pretty even playing field.

    According to some other reviews, defective copies are fairly common in Drop It, I was fortunate that my copy was quite well made, my only problem was one of the green square pieces was somewhat defective, but it didn't seem to affect the games we played.

    The scoring board seemed a little unnecessary, we actually didn't use it, instead we handed out Monopoly money $1 and $5 bills for points and counted out all of our money at the end of the game to see who won. We're excited to play this again, definitely one of my favorite games I've ever purchased.
