Gameplay
Rounds: The game is played in rounds, with players taking turns. Starting with the first player, players take the following steps:
- Draw: Take a building block of your choice from the common pool.
- Build: You can add the drawn block to one of your existing towers or start a new tower.
- Score: When you build, check if you reach a new score marker. Points are awarded based on the tower’s height and the color variety in the tower.
End of the Game: The game ends when all blocks are used, or no player can legally use another block.
Scoring
- Height Points: Each block in the tower adds 1 point to the tower’s height.

Bonus Points: At the end, there are bonus points for the highest tower and the most colors within a single tower.
