Das allerbeste Baumhaus

Balance your rooms

All players compete to construct the best treehouse ever. Over three weeks = three rounds you construct and at the end of each round rooms are scored. The treehouse must always be well-balanced!

You begin your treehouse with a starting tree and a balance marker in the middle position on the trunk. Then you are dealt six cards, look at them and choose a card secretly. Then all reveal the card simultaneously and add it to the treehouse: A room must be carried by two rooms underneath, rooms at the edges need only one room underneath. The first room of a color can be built anywhere, but more rooms of the same color must touch at least one room of this color. The house cannot get higher than six levels, including the starting tree. Whenever you place a new room, to the left or the right of an imaginary vertical middle line, you must move the balance marker accordingly; if you cannot move it further to the left or right, you cannot build the intended room. Such a room goes out of play. When a card is placed exactly over the starting tree, the balance marker is not moved. When cards have been placed, you hand the remaining cards in your hand to your neighbor on the left. After five cards the rooms a scored: You select a bonus card and put it on a scoring card - then colors without bonus card score 1 point per room, colors with a bonus 2 points per room. After three rounds, you score color majorities for bonuses.

This is a cute family game; topic and mechanism go well together, the balance marker is a nice detail and if you must block off a color, the consequences are not too bad. Nice fun for a filler!
