How to Play

  • Tuki is played over multiple rounds.
  • A round takes place over 3 stages.

Stage 1: The Scout

  • For the first round, the scout is the last person to have gone skiing.
  • For the rest of the rounds, the scout is the person who received the Tukilik card during the previous round.
  • As mentioned before, when there are 4 players, the scout is the fourth player. In this case, the scout does not play and must give their stones and snow blocks to the last scout.
  • The following are the tasks assigned to the scout.

Step 2: Revealing the Tukilik Card

  • The Scout is responsible for the die, which they place near the card stack without changing its face.
  • The face rolled on the die determines how the card will be placed.
  • The scout takes the top card from the stack and places it on the stand.
  • Important note: The card is placed so that the symbol obtained in the roll of the die is at the bottom.

Step 3: Construction

  • Each player must recreate the pattern on the card with their snow blocks and stones.
  • The building should be the same as the picture, but players don’t have to use all of their snow blocks.
  • The symbol obtained in the roll of the die indicates whether the construction must touch the table or whether it must be placed on snow blocks  .

End of a Round

  • The round ends when there is only one player left who has not built their Tukilik.
  • The last player receives the Tukilik card.
  • A new round begins.

End of the Game

2 Players

  • As soon as a player receives their 5th Tukilik card, they lose the game.

3 to 4 Players

  • As soon as a player receives their 5th Tukilik card, a final round is launched.
  • The player who received a 5th Tukilik card does not participate in the final round and instead becomes the scout.
  • At the end of this final round, the first player to have built their Tukilik wins the game.
