How to play
Lay a straight stretch of track and park the train beside it.
Stand two tall blocks on either side of the track.
Lay a long block across the top. Push the train under.
If it bumps, build the towers taller and try again.
Drive a car over the bridge while the train goes under.
What it helps with
Make it different next time
- Make the bridge longer with three towers.
- Build the track up and over a small hill of books.
Cleanup: Knock the bridge down gently, then pack the blocks before the track.
