Start for freeWhat to Expect
In tummple!, players take turns rolling a twelve-sided die that tells them to place either a brick or an obstacle on a wooden structure. The goal is to avoid collapsing the stack. If bricks fall, the responsible player collects them. The player with the fewest bricks at the end wins. The mix of luck and skill creates lively and engaging party gameplay.
Who Is This Game For?
tummple! is designed for families and casual players who enjoy quick, entertaining sessions. With a playtime of about 20 minutes, it fits perfectly into short breaks. As a family game, it requires little prior experience and is accessible to children from age 8.
How It Works
The core mechanic is Dice Rolling: a twelve-sided die dictates whether you place a brick or an obstacle. Using Stacking and Balancing, players must carefully add pieces without causing the structure to fall. Fallen bricks must be taken by the player who caused them. The player with the fewest bricks at the end wins.
