  • Using your base as a foundation, begin building a tower by stacking pieces as indicated by your roll of the dice.
  • When Die #1 is a penalty roll, Die #2 is ignored.
  • If a roll calls for more pieces than you have, simply play as much of the roll as your pieces allow.
  • Continue taking turns when you run out of pieces. Players continue to compete by giving and receiving penalties.
STACKING RULES
Pieces must be stacked one at a time. Once a piece is stacked, it may not be picked up or moved UNLESS a penalty card requires it. Pieces may be stacked in any position, either vertically (on edge) or horizontally (laid flat).

You may use as many pieces as you like to create your tower's foundation or first layer. HOWEVER, once a single piece is stacked atop that layer, no additional pieces may be added to the lower level. The same rule applies for each successive level.

Purposeful or Accidental destruction of a tower not during the course of a regular turn Any player who causes an opponent's tower to topple is required to lose a turn and draw a penalty card. Harmed player may rebuild their tower without a penalty.

LOSS OF GAME
