5 Towers

Categories: Card Game

Mechanics: Auction/Bidding, Open Drafting, Set Collection

Players: 2–5

Ages: 7+

Playtime: 15–30 Min

In this strategic game, players take on the roles of master architects competing to construct the highest towers. The goal is to acquire cards and use them to build towers of different types. To gain these valuable cards, you must be willing to take more than your opponents—but there's a catch. Since you can only build one tower of each of the five types, taking too many cards at once could limit your options later in the game.

The key to success lies in balancing your ambition with careful planning. Do you grab as many cards as possible now, risking a lack of variety later, or do you play it safe and choose selectively, keeping your options open for the future? The architect who manages to build the tallest and most diverse set of towers will ultimately claim victory.
