Game Parts

24 cube elements with indentations and bulges.

There are 5 different types:

• 6 type 0's (grey) Fig. A
• 6 type 1's (white) Fig. B
• 2 type 2's (black) Fig. C
• 6 type 3's (beige) Fig. D
• 4 type 4's (blue) Fig. E

Rules

1. Every player gets 12 cubes: half of each type.

2. One player starts with any cube, except type 4.

3. The players take turns placing cubes, in such way that there is always a square level of 2x2 cubes. Fig. F

4. The players must complete each level before beginning to construct the next one (level by level). Fig. F

5. There may only be indentations on the outside of the tower.

6. There must never be a hollow space on the inside of the tower (where the surfaces touch). Each indentation must be filled with a bulge. Fig. G

7. On the ground level it is not allowed to place cubes diagonally. On all other levels diagonal setting is allowed. Fig. H

8. On the topmost possible level (6th) bulges as well as indentations are allowed to be visible (as if the construction was to be continued).

Winning the Game

The player who forces a situation in which his/her opponent cannot continue placing cubes, is the winner!
