Overview

The Greek mathematician and engineer Archimedes, known for properly describing the benefits of a lever, is quoted as saying, "Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth." If he had access to his namesake game, he might have said, "Give me a marble, and I will school you."

Rock Me Archimedes is a dynamic two-player tabletop game that leverages critical thinking and steady hands to outmaneuver your opponent.

Take turns placing marbles on the board and moving them toward the edge, but be careful—overbalancing the board on one side causes the edge to touch the table and you to lose. If you can stay balanced while moving four marbles into the end zone first, you win!

See-saw strategy

To win Rock Me Archimedes, you'll need to balance rock-steady hand coordination with critical thinking.

The entire game board rolls on a semi-circle base for a one-on-one skill game with victory teetering in the balance... because one touch of the table, and it’s over!

A rockin
Rock and roll all night!

A balancing act

Rock Me Archimedes combines zen aesthetic, the nerve-wracking pressure of manual finesse, and the emotional charge of competition.

To declare victory, get four of your marbles into the dark end zone on the opposite end of the board before your opponent. Take turns with your opponent moving your marbles along the grooves as you push them out from the fulcrum to the end zone. If your move causes either end of the rocker board to touch the table, you automatically forfeit the game!

4 marbles in the end zone = YOU WINTouch the table = YOU LOSE!
Leverage your critical thinking to win.
