This manual game of skill requires calmness and concentration, and also provokes moments of suspense and self-doubt. The game consists of removing the sticks from the tower, one after the other, after the tower has been erected, without of course knocking the tower down. The dice indicates which stick should be removed, as each stick has a number. This makes the game more difficult and immediately makes it look less easy than it seems.

This is a game of skill for young and old, for children as well as for parents or grandparents who play with their (grand)children whenever they have some free time, during the holidays or at any other time.   

The number tower should of course be placed on a flat surface indoors or outdoors. This game is fun when you build the tower, but also when you try to keep the tower from collapsing. This game is often kept for a long time and is made of wood, which makes it durable. For the little ones, the first step is just to enjoy building the tower or even to have fun with other constructions.

History of the cup Long ago, before we had cups or even pots, people drank from clay calabashes or jars that they made themselves by hand using the local materials available at the time. No wonder it took them so long to invent a pottery vessel that could keep a liquid hot or cold without burning up! As to who actually invented the cup, it is not entirely clear! But it was in ancient times that pottery cups were used for drinking water and other beverages in Asia and Africa, as well as in Europe and North America. The oldest cups found in different parts of the world are clay vessels that were discovered in Egypt during excavations conducted between 1933 and 1938 by the archaeologist Amelia Biliotti. They date back to 4000 BC and have certain similarities with today's ceramic cups. In ancient times, drinking vessels were mainly used to store water, not to drink it, as most modern glasses are today! The cup used to be made of wood in the countryside, and of thick earthenware in the cabarets where it was often decorated with floral motifs.

How to take care of and preserve a mug, a magic mug?

It is essential to take care of the gift you have received or the magic mug you have bought for yourself in order to keep it as long as possible.

It is therefore advisable to follow a few essential guidelines: 

- It is not advisable to leave a magic mug in the sun for a long period of time as the ultraviolet rays will damage the different shades and colours of your beloved mug and the magic effect will have lost its desired effect. 

- Your magic mug with such qualities deserves to be hand washed, hand washing will keep it for a long time; however I have seen some websites that allow you to wash magic mugs in the dishwasher ..... However, the wise man will tell you that it is best not to go through the dishwasher. Do not use sharp tools or steel wool to wash the mug for fear of scratching the heat sensitive coating. 

Also, heating a liquid (water, tea, coffee, soup etc...) in your magic mug with a microwave is not recommended. These devices have a negative effect, damaging the photos, images and texts on your magic mug.  

Therefore, "caution is the better part of valour". 

You should therefore take precautions to avoid damaging your precious magic mug.
