Lukeing_goodThere are 40 regular tiles, each showing straw, wood, or stone.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6139ffb2438a000

Lukeing_goodOn your turn, take a tile and place it on the board.6archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6139ffb2438a000
Lukeing_goodTo play tiles at the bottom row, the following conditions must be met:
!!! If there are no tiles on the board
!!! If there is only one tile on the board
!!! If all the tiles already form a pyramid shape
Playing tiles at the bottom row allows most tiles to be placed without causing a collapse7archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6139ffb2438a000py_field_4_9 1 py_field_7_9 1
Lukeing_goodLet's try to place a tile.
In order to not cause a collapse when placing a tile on top of two others:
!!! It must match at least one of them in colour and/or weight.
!!! The tile’s weight must be equal to or less than that of the sum of the 2 tiles below.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613a8b3364b3a00
Lukeing_goodLet's place this tile on the board since it matches the condition to prevent a collapse2myhand_item_4613a8b3364b3a10myhand_item_14 1
Lukeing_goodThe 200 tile has every colour. Like stone tiles, it cannot burn. Due to its extra heavy weight, it easily causes collapses if it cannot be placed low in the pyramid.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613bedbed54ff00cardontable_4_9 1
Lukeing_goodSince we need to place a tile on top of the 200 milestone tile, we can place anything on top of it. Let's play this tile2myhand_item_6613bedbed54ff10myhand_item_6 1

Lukeing_goodThere are two blowtorch and two coal tiles per game. Blowtorchs have weight 7, while coals have weight 1. Blowtorches can ignite both wood and straw tiles, while coals can only ignite straw tiles.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613c16486211900cardontable_3_9 1
Lukeing_goodIf possible, we should play a stone tile to prevent a fire. However, since we don't have a stone tile, we will cause a fire. Let's try playing this tile.2myhand_item_1613c16486211910myhand_item_1 1
Lukeing_goodIf the option for fire dice is on, the dice will dictate what will happen when a fire can be ignited.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613c16810b16700
Lukeing_goodOutcome as follows:
!!! FIRE! The Fire Tile stays in the pyramid.
!!! FIRE! The Fire Tile is removed.
!!! EXPLOSION! All cards touching the exploding tile(s) are removed from the pyramid, and put in the active player's draw pile. The Fire Tile is removed.
!!! SMOKE. Nothing happens. The game continues without triggering any mayhem (for now).2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613c16810b16700
Lukeing_goodIf a collapse or fire occurs, the player can choose the direction which the tile falls.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613c178dd89ea00
Lukeing_goodAfter mayhem, players may find they’re left with a pyramid where a tile sits on one single tile and a gap.
This tile is still legally placed as long as it is the same colour as, and not heavier than, the one beneath.
Such an overhanging tile can never be actively placed by a player, but can result from mayhem.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613c17a74e59a00cardontable_4_8 1
Lukeing_goodIf three tiles of the same number form a mini-pyramid (two of the tiles next to each other, one on top of them), either via placement or after resolving mayhem, the Curse is activated. The three tiles are removed and go under the draw pile of the previous player. Any tiles coming off the pyramid from follow-on collapses and other mayhem also go under the draw pile of the previous player.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613c17a74e59a00py_field_3_7 1 cardontable_3_8 1 cardontable_4_8 1
Lukeing_goodThe game is completed when one of the players finish placing all their tiles. :)1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment613c17ae9d26d00
