The goal
As a team, stack every tile and finish with the capstone tile and the capstone die.
How it plays
- 1On your turn draw 4 dice at random from the bag and roll them.
- 2Choose whichever of the 3 available tiles makes best use of them and put it on top of the tower (talk it over). You may rotate the tile, and its edges must square with the tile below, unless that one is a Twisted tile, in which case follow its dotted lines.
- 3Add dice to the tile you just placed: at least 1 and up to all 4, and only the current player touches them. A white space takes a die of the matching number; a coloured space takes a die of the matching colour.
- 4Return unused dice to the bag and pass it on. If none of the rolled dice fits any available tile, put them all back and draw again.
How you win
After the last tile, the next player adds the capstone tile and die and the team wins. The team loses if any die falls from the tower, or if the bag runs out before the tiles do.
First time?
- The dice are the pillars for the next level; spread them toward the corners.
- You needn't place all 4 every time; leaving some keeps the bag from running dry.
