About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to climb floor by floor in Many Stories Mansion, a game that blends the thrill of ladder climbing with the satisfaction of solving puzzles. Imagine you're building a house of cards, literally! Each player starts with 15 cards of five different colors, but beware: the order of cards in your hand is sacred, no rearranging allowed. On your turn, the challenge is to play a combination of cards that beats the previous one. The options are simple yet strategic: either play cards all of the same color, or play cards all of different colors. The cards you play don't disappear; they become the building blocks of your personal mansion, stacking up to form an increasingly tall and colorful structure. The higher you climb in score and the more polyomino patterns you complete with your stacked cards, the more points you rack up. The game has an exciting end: it concludes when two players manage to empty their hands. Therefore, the key is to find the perfect balance between building an efficient mansion and quickly shedding your cards. It's a fast-paced game, with rounds lasting between 15 to 30 minutes, ideal for 2 to 4 players who enjoy a strategic challenge with a touch of luck and lots of fun.
