The game comprising a plurality of game elements having respective sound components and being disposed uprightly to form an array so that, when toppled in cascade, they emit the respective sound components sequentially along the array to generate one or more sound sequences. The method comprising the steps of: (i) selecting the shape of an array to erect; (ii) selecting a sound sequence to be emitted; (iii) selecting a plurality of game elements according to the sound sequence and the sound components associated with such elements; (iv) erecting the selected array by placing the selected game elements uprightly in adjacent positions; and (v) initiating cascade toppling of the erected array, so that the selected sound sequence is emitted along the array by emission of the respective sound components when each game element topples.
