Description
In 15-20 minutes, 2-5 players will build 5 towers in different colors and shapes. How tall will the towers be, how many will have a roof, and will they need to tear down a few segments before they finish? These variables determine how many points players earn at the end of this clever, cute, quick, and fun card game. First, players bid to obtain the building cards needed. Next, they assemble the tower cards, which are numbered 0-15 in descending order. The game ends when the tower deck runs out twice. Players score points for each tower segment and gain extra points for their tallest tower and any that are topped with a zero card. Points are lost for any segments that were discarded. The player with the most points wins!
Publisher's Description of 5 Towers Game
In 5 Towers players compete as master architects to build the
city’s highest towers. Each round, 5 cards – the building blocks of the
towers – are up for bidding. The player willing to take the most of them
wins them and must add them onto their own growing towers. But why not
just take all of them? But one can only build one tower of each type,
and the values of the cards in each tower must gracefully decrease as
building them up, so taking too many at once restricts future bids. When
the last brick has been laid, the player with the most points wins.
Each card in a tower grants one point. If that tower is graced with a tower top, its cards are worth two instead. The cards in a player's highest tower are worth another point still, while any cards tored down in the course of building will cost points.
