In this co-operative stacking game, players get a certain number of colored pillars. On their turn, they can swap pillars with a central pool, then flip a challenge card. The card will instruct them to build onto the structure in some way, and if they fail, then the victory condition gets farther away, in the form of having to add an extra story to the structure. The cards come in different piles according roughly to the difficulty of the challenge. If the structure collapses, or components run out, the game ends, and you check to see if whatever remains met the height requirement. If it did, then the players all win. This is a really interesting take on this type of game, because you need to be aware of what other players have in their hands, and what's coming up next in the pile of floor tiles, and what you can do to have the best shot at winning each challenge card. It's a tough game, but it's not impossible to win with enough careful planning. The look of the structure is also quite beautiful, and the iconography on the cards is very clear. :star: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :star: Multiple plays stay interesting :star: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::star::star::star::nostar: Raw enjoyment
