In Twisted Trumpets, you're an aspiring royal trumpeter trying to craft the kingdom's zaniest instrument! Each turn, choose from three actions: take a basic tile, trade for a premium one, or expand your trumpet on the board. The twist? You're assembling a musical monstrosity full of Dr. Seuss-worthy curves, flags, and birds. But it's not just about looks – you'll need to complete Royal Decrees (public objectives) and Queen's Plans (secret goals) to score big. The real game-changer? King's Favors – powerful bonuses triggered by covering scrolls on your board, like free tiles or extra actions. Just don't expect favors to last forever: the more you use the same one, the weaker it gets! When someone nearly fills their board (just 3 empty spaces left), the endgame kicks in. Final scoring counts connected pipes, flag sets, musical notes, and completed objectives. The highest scorer becomes the new Royal Bugler – ready to perform a king-worthy solo!
