Simon Thomas from Kastel invents Tower Brix

Wiesbaden’s Simon Thomas has invented the board game Tower Brix. It was published by Kosmos in spring 2024.

In the game, up to six people build a tower together using building blocks. Their own hand cards specify who has to meet which conditions. The special thing: each person only knows about their own tasks and must not reveal anything about them to the other players. While building, you have to figure out which conditions need to be met to successfully complete the round.

The Wiesbadener Kurier reported on Thomas on 12 April 2024. In the article “Gemeinsam knobeln und bauen” by Claudia Kroll-Kubin, Thomas says that Tower Brix is a quick-to-understand and handy game that you can play anywhere. He also recalls that the visible enjoyment while playing was what first opened the door to publishers.

“At first, still unknown in the market, I only got rejections from publishers – that was frustrating. The turning point came at the games fair in Berlin when I presented the prototype. Our table was so packed with games that the publishers came over.”
