Actually I'm not quite sure why it does it.  But here you go....

 

Add a normal cube and stretch it to be a brick shape

In the motion tab under motion select physics

Duplicate the brick and move it to the opposite end of the tower

Group those two bricks and then duplicate the group and rotate it around the vertical to form the next brick

Ctrl-D a few times to duplicate and rotate the bricks to form the bottom layer of the tower.

Group the layer and then duplicate it

Move the layer up to become the second row of bricks and rotate around the vertical axis to form a brick pattern.

 

Ctrl-D for however many layers you want.  I think I did around 40.

And that's your tower.

Click on the simulate physics button and it will then churn away at the calculations and for some reason which I haven't worked out, the tower, rather than staying tower shape, falls down.

 

tada!
