Overview

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

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:
  • 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
