How to play Moku Tower

Start by building your tower with the smallest block available. This provides a solid base and helps keep the structure stable as you add more blocks.

Before adding a new block, look at the shape and size of the remaining blocks. Plan how each piece will fit together, ensuring that balance is maintained.

If there are simulated winds or tremors in the game, adapt your strategy to adjust the tower according to the direction and intensity. This could include reinforcing the base or redistributing blocks to avoid collapse.

Use larger and heavier blocks whenever possible to create a lower center of gravity, increasing the overall stability of the structure.

Watch out for the influence of special blocks or bonus items that may appear, as they can provide advantages or recover from previous mistakes.

As the tower grows, precision becomes essential. Concentrate when positioning blocks, avoiding sudden movements that could destabilize the structure.

Practice different approaches and tactics to become more efficient and adaptable to new challenges presented at different stages of the game.

Mechanics of Moku Tower

  • Hand Management - In Moku Tower, players have a limited number of cards in their hand representing different types of building blocks. The Hand Management mechanic is crucial, as players need to strategically decide which cards to play each turn, considering the height and stability of the tower they are building. Maximizing the efficient use of cards maintains the tower's integrity while challenging opponents.
  • Take that - This mechanic allows players to directly interfere with their opponents' progress. Through specific cards or actions, one player can force another to carry out unwanted actions, such as removing blocks from the tower or adding blocks under adverse conditions. This mechanic adds a layer of competitive interaction and strategy, as players must be prepared to mitigate or retaliate against their rivals' actions, ensuring that their towers remain standing while trying to destabilize those of others.
