Tumbling Down was invented by Michael Shuck (USA) in 2000. The game was a candidate of the 8x8 Game Design Competition sponsored by About Board Games and Abstract Games magazine in 2000/2001. It can be played online on Richard's PBeM server and on boardspace.net. The strongest player is Jacob Corner (USA). Tumbling Down is a two-dimensional sowing game with stackable pieces and a distant relative of chess.
