Middle age. War is coming to the city Pamplona. The growing tension between burgs had pushed them to build a defense. But there is not enough stone available to stand it. Be the first to build three towers and victory will be yours.

You have to build 3 towers each of them using 3 dices stacked and sorted from minor to major values. You can't repeat the same value in one tower.

Each player roll one dice in turn and tries to start new tower, stack the dice or pass. Stacked dice cannot be altered unless you roll a 6.

If a player gets a 6, he has these options:

  • Roll again
  • Finish and secure a tower. A tower finished in 6 can't be altered by any player (even himself)
  • Swap his top stacked dices with other top stacked ones or with the newly rolled 6 (discard leftover dice)
  • Blow up 1 top dice from enemies towers.
  • 666: when a player gets a 6 three times followed (in the same turn or not) he destroys one enemy tower even if it is secured

The game ends when one player builds three towers. The other player has a last chance to roll a dice, but unless he gets a 6 he loses.
