Build a treehouse together

We build levels for a tree house - one board + two wooden disks + one board, and so on. You begin the construction with the basis board, it is set out and you put two wooden disks on the marked spots. Then, players are active builders in turn.

The active builder takes the top building board from the face-down draw pile for boards and puts it - plank side up - in any orientation on top of the two wooden discs. Then you take two discs and put them on the newly placed board, on the colored spots that are indicated by the ravens on the top board on the draw pile. You may put the discs on the board before you place the board and can also straighten the stack carefully, but you cannot remove something from the stack. Assistance is allowed, e.g. holding the tower while a board is placed or straightened. When 12 boards have been placed, all win together. If, however, a board touches the basis board or the table, the tower is considered to have toppled

You can also play the competitive variant: Whoever topples the stack, scores a penalty point and you win with fewest penalty points when someone takes their third penalty point. You can of course adjust the number of penalty points to your liking.

Listen to what the raven says to be sure that the stack is balanced! This is the advice on the cover - well, the ravens do not really talk, but you could interpret the placing of discs before placing the board in that way, as this is very helpful because you can assess where weight is added to the stack and how you should orient the board. Dexterity and a bit of spatial thinking will bring success!
