  • 15 light and 15 dark pieces:
    • 5 Squares
    • 5 Triangles
    • 5 Cylinders

Overview

  • Minimalist 2-player abstract strategy game.
  • Players are architects competing to build Towers.
  • The last piece determines the opponent's possible moves.
  • The first player to control three Towers wins the game.

Game play

  • White starts by playing any piece on any space. If White plays a Square, they cannot play a Square as their second piece.
  • Players take turns to play one of their pieces.
  • Each space of the board can support only one Tower.
  • Each Tower is made of one piece of each kind:
    • Square
    • Triangle
    • Cylinder
  • Note: each Tower can have either colour of pieces.
  • Note: pieces may be played in any order.
  • If the active player cannot play according to the last piece's rule, they may play on any empty space.
  • A Tower is controlled by the player with the most pieces.
    • i.e. 2 or 3 pieces.

Square

  • The opponent must play in an orthogonally adjacent space.
    • i.e. vertically or horizontally.
  • Note: White cannot place two squares in a row as their first and second move.

Triangle

  • The active player selects the orientation.
    • Must point to at least one space.
  • The opponent must play in the line indicated by the Triangle.
  • Note: Triangles cannot be re-oriented.

Cylinder

  • The opponent must play on the same space.

Game End

  • The first player to control three completed Towers wins.
  • If the active player has no possible moves the game ends with tiebreaks:
