Moku Tower is a board game released in 2022 for 2–6 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Ivan Kan and Louis Hsu and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Race.
Moku Tower’s gaming concept originates from our previous product – Woodas. The theme of Moku Tower is to integrate wood art into tabletop game. It is an unconventional idea that transforms wood art into an artistic, interactive and strategic tabletop game that can be played with a group of friends and/or family members. Moku Tower combines the concept of "timing", "stacking" and "strategy" into one single game. Each game contains 10 different pieces of wooden rocks (includes both big and small) and are made of 8 different types of natural wood material (ash, pine, sapele, maple, walnut, birch, camphor and rosewood). Each of them has different grain, color, weight, texture and even aroma. Also, each piece of wood is exquisitely handcrafted by our wood master. Hence, each of them has its own unique cutting and angle, making Moku Tower one of your most exquisite and unique home decoration. In order to win in Moku Tower, you need to be good at timing, stacking and strategy. Within the time limit from the hourglass, players need to stack the wooden rocks to gain points based on the requirements that they draw from the cards. Throughout the stacking process, your opponents can attack you using their "Function cards". Make good use of the Function cards! It can be the turning point for the whole story. The player who first reaches the accumulative target point wins the game.
Moku Tower supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Moku Tower is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Moku Tower for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Moku Tower has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
