Two imposing cake towers loll upwards in front of you. To get to the top, you have to choose the dice wisely and combine them to form a two-digit number. How far will you dare to climb? Whoever lasts the longest without failing will be rewarded with a hefty score at the end!

Gameplay: On your turn you must decide whether you a) play or b) pass.

Play: Choose two (out of five) dice from the general display and use them to form a two-digit number. For example, you can use dice with the numbers 2 and 5 to form 25 or 52. Like this, you try climbing up your cake as high as possible. The next number must always be higher than the previous one. Pass: if you cannot use any dice, you pass and re-roll all dice. You can only pass once on each level.

The round ends as soon as someone has reached the last level of his cake OR if someone has blundered (= not able to write a valid number after "passing")

A game consists of two rounds.
