In the box and how a round unfolds

Inside you’ll find a sturdy base, 15 colorful platforms, a tower crown, 72 playing cards, and 15 pawns. On your turn, you play a card numbered 1–12 to move your pawns upward. Only pawns of the same color can occupy a given level, so you’ll plan routes that avoid clashes while aiming for the top.

Special cards introduce twists that can accelerate a push to the top or alter the path to victory. The first player to deliver all four of their pawns to the tower peak is a strong contender for the win, but smart opponents will challenge your plans with precise plays.
