About the game
The King and Queen of Geometria have summoned the realm's finest architects for a Tournament of Towers, a contest of skill, style, and daring. Tournament of Towers is a blend of card drafting and dexterity in which players draft blueprint cards, then carefully balance uniquely shaped pieces to construct their towers. Over two rounds, players must weigh ambitious designs against stability as they compete to build the most impressive tower. Different pieces and blueprints create new building challenges each game, rewarding creativity, careful planning, and a steady hand. Tournament of Towers can be played solo, competitively with up to four players or teams, cooperatively, or in Party Mode with large groups.
