About the game
Rocca Town is a hexagon-shaped card game designed to look like a cube. Connect houses with same colored roofs. On a player's turn, they can play a card that connects to a similar colored roof card on the table. Alternatively, if they are not able to do that action, they draw a card. If they can play that card they do so, otherwise turn goes to the next player. The arrows on the house cards determine the direction the houses have to be played. A card with an arrow pointing up, allows for purple "level" cards to be played on top of it. Making the house into a tower. If a house/tower with several levels is topped with a big roof card. The next player has to draw cards equal to the number of levels the tower has. Cards with a cat on the roof allow you to play another card of the same roof color. Playing a "Trulie" card allows you to roll the dice to see what happens. This can be both good or bad for you. The first player to empty their hand of cards wins the game.
