PLAYED FOR YOU

Angry Birds Spiel

Topple pigs in freestyle mode

Cult, transferred from computer to board, playing on a table instead of with an app - this game has been shaped after the app; you play in three levels of difficulty or in freestyle mode.

The mission cards are sorted by difficulty level and separately stacked face-down; the point cards are set out next to them. For levels 1 to 3 you choose a card from one of those levels, the next player builds the castle for use and you yourself try to topple the castle. In the freestyle mode you build the castle anyway you like while adhering to basic rules, in the other levels you build exactly as to specifications. For the free variant the card only depicts the building parts, pigs, bonus parts and birds that you must use.

The rules for freestyle are: The castle can be build upwards and sideways, but not in-depth, no block can sit behind another block. Distances between parts can be maximum 5 cm and the castle cannot be wider than for long blocks, that is 30,5 cm; pigs and bonus parts must sit on other parts of the castle, not on the playing surface. The Mission card shows all birds that you must use to topple the construction, and the order of using them; the catapult must be at a distance of at least 30 cm from the front side of the castle. Pigs on the castle are deemed to have been toppled when they fall off the construct. If you topple all pigs, you score according to the mission card; if you are first to top 1000 points, you win the game.

A mega hit as app, fun on the living room table, too, setting up and toppling over is great fun! For freestyle your building abilities are as important as your ability to hit your target.
