    may I recommend a small length of something like a rope... perhaps the belt from a dressing gown... you just plop that down as a sort of ring around the play area (an it can fit any sized area because its flexible) and then if the tower falls, the fuzzies don't go a-rolling. Furthermore you can tie it around the box as a lovely soft carry handle! :D

    If it has one set of rules it’s definitely a game.

    If it has multiple sets of rules and isn’t a deck of cards, I think it’s fair to refer to it as either a game or as a toy, depending on how much fun it is to mess with with no rules and on whether or not you personally find “toy” demeaning.
