BUILDZI is a fast-paced building block game from the creators of TENZI, SLAPZI, PAIRZI, and ITZI. It received the ASTRA Best Toys for Kids award in the Games 8+ category.

The set includes seven gameplay modes, such as Together BUILDZI, which emphasizes teamwork and STEM skills like problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. Educators appreciate its ability to reinforce critical thinking and engineering concepts, making it suitable for classroom use.
The package contains 32 BUILDZI Blocks, 32 double-sided Tower Cards, 32 Block Cards, and instructions for seven different games. Designed for 2–4 players (expandable to 8 for party play), it’s suitable for ages 6 and up.
