Spend 2 AP at the Treetop to take the Treetop Challenge. One by one, reveal each of the 3 Treetop cards and try to beat them just like Trunk cards—matching color rules and using climbing cards that total more than the card’s value. Continue until you’ve beaten all 3 Treetop cards... then dodge the 2 Traps from Kurgill in order to win! (see "TRAPS" section)

	If you beat a card, you'll be setting aside the cards you use (they will be checked against ~~the Treetop~~ Traps at the very end!~~). Continue until you’ve beaten all 3 Treetop cards to complete the challenge.~~		- Note: Each time you beat a treetop card, you'll be setting aside the cards you use as they will be checked against Kurgill's 2 Traps at the very end!

	Traps are cards players ~~secretly~~ set against ~~each other~~ to mess with their ~~climb~~ attempts. ~~You resolve~~ traps AFTER a successful climb.

Traps are cards which players (and Kurgill!) can set against opponents to mess with their climbing attempts. Players that are "trapped" can only advance if they clear all traps at their position.
