About the game

Players try to build a high tower by adding more and more levels. This is done by placing wall and ceiling cards. On his turn a player tries to complete a new level of the tower. If he succeeds he scores the height of the level. Round is over either when the tower is build up to the maximum height (15 levels) or when the tower collapses. Similar to Rhino Hero
