A game for two to eight players comprising a game base upon which at least thirty game pieces, with different distinguishing features and values, are placed, and a method for playing the same. The game pieces are stacked upon one another, from the game base, forming planar levels of a three-dimensional structure. The game's concession for a myriad of game base types enable the construction of many diverse structures. The game pieces are identical in size and, preferably, a spherical shape. The game pieces are partitioned, according to their distinguishing features, into a plurality of sets. The method for playing the game comprises: setting up, comprising; separating the game pieces into the sets, distributing the sets to the players, and randomly selecting a player to begin play, playing, comprising; placing the game pieces on the planar levels, placing game pieces on the visible, outer, surface positions of the three-dimensional structure to obtain points, and using optional processes for playing, comprising; a free placement step, an adjacency step, and removal and replacement step, and finally, determining a winner, comprising; tallying the values of the game pieces which are on the visible, outer, surface positions of the three-dimensional structure, and using optional processes for determining a winner, comprising; a multiplication by side step, and a multiplication by planar level step. The player with the greatest quantity of points at the end of the game wins.
