"Measles, the ultimate stacking games, combines the elements of balance, coordination and luck with strategy of attempting to outscore an opponent, or gain a scoring advantage of at least five points. Game components include 1 base tile and 29 wooden playing tiles. Each playing tile has a pattern of red spots (measles) on its surface. Every measle is scored as one "spotpoint" following completion of a round of play. Each of the 29 playing pieces also has 3 randomly drilled holes in it. This gives every playing tile a unique weight and balance." ...from the rules
