Tuki

building with stones and snow

Tukiliit are items of importance and meaning for Inuit, they use them for instance to point the way to the next village. We construct them from stones and snow blocks.

At the start you decide on a standard game using three blocks or an advanced game using four blocks. In a standard game you receive one block each in gray, blue and purple and one snow block of each of four shapes, in the advanced game an additional one orange block. One player as scout rolls the die and places the template; in a game of four, he does not participate in the round.

A template Tukilik card is placed in the orientation indicated by the animal on the die; all then quickly construct the depicted Tukilik, on a basis of snow blocks if so indicated by the die. Snow blocks can be used for support or counterweights. When all are done, all constructs are controlled - when all are built correctly, the slowest player takes the template card, or else the player who made a mistake. In case of several players with mistakes, the card goes to the player who finished his construct first. Whoever receives the card, is scout of the next round. If someone takes his fifth card, the other player is the winner in a game of two players; in a game of three and four, the player with five cards is scout for a final round, does not play and the winner is the player who finishes first in this final round.

A very sophisticated variant of the use-blocks-according-to template mechanism; cards show only the positions of the colored blocks; you must deduce the use and placement of snow blocks for support or counterweight yourself. Attractive, challenging and interesting!
