📖 About This Game
Step into the ancient city of Aeminium, where you, esteemed architects, were chosen by Emperor Augustus to build a lighthouse dedicated to Mars, the Roman God of War. Your mission is to construct the magnificent Tower of Hercules, a structure destined to rival the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria. But beware—the path to glory is fraught with challenges that demand both your strategic mind and your steady hands.
In this dexterity game, you and your fellow players will work together to build the tower using a set of 70 pillars, a tower base, a tower roof, 18 floors, and 32 cards. Each turn reveals a new card with a new challenge, forcing you to consider every aspect of your tower before constructing the next level. The goal is to complete the tower with minimum of 2(+1?) collapses. Strategic placement of pillars and skillful rebuilding after the inevitable collapses are the key to your success.
The Tower of Hercules awaits your skillful hands and strategic mind. Will you rise to the challenge and build a structure to rival the wonders of the ancient world?
