Manual — Crazy Tower

Be the first player to place all their blocks, without collapsing the Tower.
goal of the game
Case: When a player covers this Box, they may remove a Block from a lower Floor card and give it back to the person playing that color.
Case: Players may not place a Block that covers this Box.
White Box: Blocks must be placed on one or many White Boxes.
Case: When a player covers this Box, they must exchange one of their unplayed Blocks with one of another player’s of their choice.
Case: When a player covers this Box, they must play again immediately.
Your fingers are trembling. Your heart is pounding. You have to add another Block to the teetering Tower, and your mind is racing: will the Tower hold together, or will it collapse? A drop of sweat trickles down your forehead as your fingers release the Block. This is the moment of truth. The Tower sways. Your breath catches in your throat. The Tower re-stabilizes and remains standing. For now…
In Crazy Tower, the goal is simple: build a stable structure! This would be much easier for the Architects if there wasn’t a Saboteur involved. Their only desire is for the structure to collapse, on YOUR turn… One way or the other, whether the Tower holds up or not, the game is guaranteed to be crazy!

THE SPECIAL BOXES

---

Competitive Mode (2-4 players)
HOW TO PLAY
1. Each player takes 7 Blocks of the same color (In a 2 player game, each player takes the Blocks of 2 different colors).
2. Determine which player starts the game. Then, play in turn and clockwise.
3. In turn, players do 1 of 2 things:

A- Place one of your Blocks on the highest Floor card of the Tower.
B- Take the first Floor card from the stack, reveal it and lay it on the Tower, then put a Block on the new Floor.
* Blocks must be laid flat.
* Blocks can overhang Floor cards.
* Floor cards can be offset from the Tower.
* Only one hand can be used to lay a Block or Floor card.
* There can never be 2 Blocks of the same color on the same Floor card.

IMPORTANT
GAME END
COLLAPSE
The Tower is considered to have collapsed if at least one Block and one Floor card fall. If only one Block (or Floor card) falls, the player whose turn it is must replace it before continuing their turn.
The game ends when:
* a player places their last Block on top of the Tower without it collapsing.
* the Tower collapses.

VICTORY
The player who places all of their Blocks on the Tower wins the game.
If the Tower collapses:
* the player who caused the collapse does not score any points.
* each player calculates the sum of the remaining Block values (those that he did not place on the Tower). The player with the smallest score wins.
* tie breaker: If more than one player has the same amount of points, the player with the fewest total Blocks wins the game. If it is still tied, the players share the victory.

HOW TO PLAY
1. Each player takes 7 Blocks of the same color.
2. Before you start the game, determine which player will be the Saboteur. They play against the other players, who work as a team. The player to the left of the Saboteur starts the game.
3. This step is identical to Competitive Mode.

GAME END
If either the team or the saboteur is able to place their final block, they are declared the winner. If the tower collapses, whoever caused that to happen (either the team or the saboteur) loses the game.

Choose a challenge at the end of the rulebook. Play with 2, 3 or 4 colors depending on the challenge you choose. Obviously, the player wins if he succeeds his challenge without collapsing the Tower.

Saboteur Mode (3-4 players)
Solo Mode

NOTE: Certain solo challenges can be performed by several players in competitive or saboteur mode.
