About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a duel of balance and luck with Tier auf Tier: Das Duell! If you enjoy the original version but want a more intimate and faster experience, this is the one for you. Here, the scuffle is just between two, and the objective is simple: build the tallest and most stable animal tower before your opponent. Each player receives a set of cute critters – an octopus, a tiger, a goose, and a squirrel – that need to be stacked with surgical precision. Your move is determined by the dice: one indicates which animal to use, and the other, where to place it. But beware, if you roll a question mark, the decision is yours! The fun lies in trying to fit the pieces without toppling the structure, in a test of nerves and fine motor skills. Whoever is faster and more skilled at assembling their tower wins a coin. Accumulate three coins and celebrate victory! It's a super quick game, ideal for warming up your engines on a game night or for entertaining the kids (and adults with steady hands!). There's zero language dependency, so just grab and play. Tier auf Tier: Das Duell proves that dexterity games can be super strategic and exciting, even with rules that fit in your pocket.
