Read the full game description
Bable is a cooperative communication game in which players must complete a four-layer tower before their available ideas and actions run out. No one may perform an action on their own turn; instead, the active player issues commands that other players must interpret and execute. Build, draw, give, and reveal are represented by symbols, but the words assigned to those symbols change as the game progresses. The tower requires ten building cards in layers of four, three, two, and one, turning shared planning into escalating linguistic chaos.
