Gravitas turns stacking rocks into a ruthless tabletop battle of balance and betrayal [Sponsored]

Gravitas is part strategy game, part sculpture, and part glorious rockslide waiting to happen.

Gravity isn’t just the name of the game in Gravitas; it’s also your greatest enemy. In this episode of Popverse’s Let’s Play, Ashley V. Robinson sits down with Gravitas’ Chris Gagné to discover how quickly a seemingly simple stone-stacking game can become a tabletop battle of patience, strategy, and increasingly questionable decisions.

Handcrafted in Vermont from natural slate, marble, and granite, Gravitas is part game, part sculpture, and part disaster waiting to happen. Because every stone has its own shape, texture, and balance, no two sets play exactly alike. The rules may be simple enough to learn in minutes, but successfully stacking the pieces (especially with another player plotting against you) is another matter entirely.

Can Ashley defeat Chris at his own game, or does the man from Gravitas have home-field advantage? Sponsored by Gravitas, watch as the two build improbable towers, test the limits of gravity, and try very hard not to send everything crashing onto the table. Friendship is temporary; a perfectly balanced stack of rocks is forever.
