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.
