Ways to play TrickoryTree

---

There are two ways to play the game .

One way is by playing Stacks which is usually fast and exciting.
Heres how it’s played each player or players must stack

game pieces one on top of another creating a single column building up with the exception of when playing the 2 smalls.The 2 small game pieces can be played side by side touching or one on top of another. Any player that knocks down the Stack is out and the remaining players can replay another round until only one player is determined the winner. Check out the pictures at the bottom of page for examples.

When playing Tricky Tree a player or players use wooden base provided in game set. A player can use any available Space on the base to place there game pieces.Game pieces can overhang the edge.The two (smalls)small game pieces can be separate from one another and placed anywhere space provides.Any part or section of a Tricky Tree that falls player that caused this is out and remaining players continue to build on remaining Tricky Tree.(Optional)or they can attempt roll themselves back in the game by guessing what there next roll will be if they guess correctly they are back in the game and must play the game piece they just rolled. If a player Rolls dice and the game piece to be played  is no longer available then they skip until roll allows game peice to be played .When all the pieces have been used player or players have built a TRICKORYTREE.Check out pictures at bottom of page for examples.

Cooperative  Play. Is when everyone is trying to work together to build the best Stack or Tricky Tree.

Competitive Play. Players try to strategically place game pieces to potentially make an opponents next move topple the build whether it’s Stacks or Tricky Tree.

You can also just stack, build and create whatever and however you like.

Find a flat stable surface to place  wooden base. A floor works too.

Determine which player will be starting first.

Any roll that equals over 6 player uses a BIG BLUE game piece.

Any roll that equals 6 or UNDER player uses a medium yellow ochre game piece.

Any doubles other then double 6...double 4....or double 1 Player uses 2 small black and yellow game pieces.NOTE. Remember smalls must be stacked side by side touching or one on top of another when playing Stacks. When playing Tricky Tree smalls can be separated.

Any double 4 player uses one small black and yellow and choice of either a medium yellow ochre or big blue.

Any double 6 player uses a BIG RED LOG.

Any double 1 (snake eyes) uses one green snake game piece or.......player can make a wish.player gets to roll again and if they guess there roll correctly they can choose any game piece to play instead of the snake.If players wish does not come true player must play the snake.

If a player rolls and the game pieces is no longer available player must pass to next player until roll allows remaining game pieces to be played.You can always revisit the game on another day there's no time limit and a build can look more like an art piece then a game.

NOTE. Game pieces previously placed  can be manipulated by the next player with the use of the current players game piece.This can aid in stabilizing a previous move.Giving the current player a better chance to succeed when placing on a wobbly build.This may also work or not work when playing competitively.

For example.A player takes his or her game piece and places a top another players game piece.You can place and then remove and place again.You can place and twist using only the game piece to find the best placement for your move..(YOU CANNOT) use your hands to hold a build or touch any part of a build.
