La Tour Majestueuse

The course

The person who starts is the person who most recently climbed a tree.

• Roll the twelve dice and each player takes a rivet.

• Group them by number - put the dice alone with the ones, these are the “rivets”. 

• Each player in turn chooses a group of dice* OR “takes” an additional rivet

• If we take the group with the ones and the dice alone, we gain this number of rivets

Ex: in the photo roll, the player who chooses this group with a '1' die and a '3' die would take 4 rivets

*To take a group of numbers 2 to 6, you must spend two rivets [one to attach each end of the bar!]

• This group of dice counts as a bar of size corresponding to the number of dice

• In case you want more dice to complete a larger bar, you can “make” several dice by spending the number of rivets that correspond to the number on the other dice (for example you can spend five rivets to “create” a dice with number '5' to add to the bar of '5's)

• In case we want to split the group in two to make two bars, we must spend four rivets, two for each bar.

• A player can sabotage another player by spending five rivets to convince that player's workers to strike. In the next round, the player whose workers are striking cannot play and must pass their turn.

• Bonus tokens follow who deserves the honor during gameplay, but only after a player earns the minimum value required to access them.

The most bars

Five bars minimum

Most horizontal bars

Three horizontal bars minimum

The most rivets

Ten rivets minimum

If all players have less than ten rivets, the token stays or returns to the center for the moment

• Example: If a player builds 5 bars, he receives the “most bar” token and keeps it unless another player builds 6 bars (or more). In this case, it is the other player who takes the bonus token and so on.

End of Game

Counting points

Each player counts all the small squares (which indicate size) in their bars and writes the total (for example, 3 bars of 4 squares and 2 bars of 3 squares earns (3x4) + (2x3) = 18 points)

Each unused rivet adds half a point (so 1 additional point for 2 unused rivets)

End of game bonus:

+ 4 points for the player who built the most bars on the tower

+ 3 points for the player who has built the most horizontal bars

+ 2 points for the player with the most rivets at the end of the game

You and your friends are rival architects tasked with building the Eiffel Tower. For glory you want to be the architect who builds most of the tower. To build the tower you must use groups of dice and rivets. You will use the rivets to attach the bars, buy more materials, or sabotage your friends/rivals and convince their workers to strike. The person with the most points at the end wins the game!

Advice on preparing and setting up the game

• You need to obtain twelve 6-sided dice

• Print all game materials

• If you want, you can laminate the different elements (rivets, cards, etc.) and play with dry erase markers so that you can reuse the material)

• Cut out the material (rivets, tokens) - Attention!, the cards with the rivets remain in one piece. There are 4 game cards in the material. If you need more, feel free to print more.
