A wall made of rainbow-colored bricks. A vibrating motorized jackhammer. What could possibly go wrong? In Knockout, players take turns rolling the color die, selecting a matching brick, and carefully blasting it out with the buzzing Rammer Hammer. But there’s a twist—one of the bricks is the dreaded Knockout Block. If you knock it free, or if the whole wall comes tumbling down, you’re out! The remaining players rebuild the wall using the bricks you removed, and the last one standing wins. With no supporting frame and a steadily wobbling tower of rebalanced blocks, Knockout delivers satisfying tension and demolition glee.

Knockout, Hold On Scooby-Doo!, Happy Feet Two: Hold on Erik, and Spider-Man: Spider Sense are all about removing bricks without toppling the structure—but each adds its own flavor. While the “Hold On” trio features perched characters and plastic frameworks, Knockout trades in cartoon mascots for pure demolition thrills with its unique battery-powered jackhammer and iconic “Knockout” brick that could spell your doom. Same tension. More vibration.
