Der Turm

A tower with a bad habit of spitting gemstones back out waits at the centre of the table. In The Tower, 2 to 5 players from 8 years hide their own gemstones across 10 movable levels and try to remember where space is still waiting. Each round opens one level of the modular tower, then the pieces stack back in a new order. If that level is already too full, the exposed gemstones tumble out again and the careful plan suddenly looks a little shaky. Memory and observation sit at the heart of the game, because the shifting floors keep changing the path of every gemstone. The aim is plain and tense: place all own gemstones in the tower before the others manage it. A round takes about 15 minutes, so the tactical party game stays quick, lively and easy to bring back to the table. Inside the box are 10 tower levels, 36 gemstones and 10 number tokens. The clever table presence comes from the tower itself, not from a long rulebook. Every opened floor asks for timing, nerve and a good sense of where the gems have gone
