Twisted Trumpets

Players compete to assemble the most whimsical horn by laying pipe tiles and decorating it with flags, birds, and musical notes. On a turn, choose one of three actions: draw a basic pipe tile from the face-down stack, trade for face-up premium tiles, or place tiles on a personal grid to extend and twist the trumpet. Covering special scroll spaces triggers bonus effects that can grant premium tiles, extra actions, or additional private goal cards, though repeated use of the same bonus weakens it. Three public objective tracks offer race-style bonuses while private plan cards set individual endgame goals. The game ends when a player fills nearly their board; then final scoring awards points for pipe lengths, decoration sets, public decrees, and private plans.
