How to play Skorpedals Tårnfeid
Down in Skorpedal, neighbours settle their differences the old-fashioned way:
by building the tallest tower in the valley. Each turn you play one card to build up your own homestead,
wreck your neighbour's, or grow your economy. First to reach a victory condition wins.
Winning
You win the moment any of these is true:
Build your tower up to the target height (50 in a classic game).
Destroy your opponent's tower by bringing it down to 0.
Hoard enough of any single resource: planker, tannhjul or kumpaner (150 in a classic game).
The targets for the current match are shown above the board. If both players win at once, it's a draw.
Your castle
Every castle has a tower and a wall.
Damage hits the wall first. Only what the wall can't soak up reaches the tower.
When Bukken butts a homestead for 5 damage and its wall is 3, the wall drops to 0 and the tower 2 lower.
Damage to tower skips the wall entirely. Cards like Sprettert say so explicitly.
Your tower is your life and one way to win. The wall is just armour.
Resources
There are three colours. Each has a generator (the big number) and a stockpile:
Colour
Generator
Stockpile
Cards are mostly about
Red
Sagbruk (sawmill)
🪵 Planker (planks)
Walls and economy
Blue
Verksted (workshop)
⚙️ Tannhjul (cogs)
Contraptions that build and wreck towers
Green
Kro (village inn)
🍺 Kumpaner (rascals)
Critters and troublemakers that deal damage
At the start of each of your turns, every generator adds its value to its stockpile. A card costs the
resource of its own colour: the number in its corner. Cards you can't afford are dimmed.
Raising a generator early pays off every turn for the rest of the game. Generators never drop below 1;
stockpiles, towers and walls never drop below 0.
A turn
Your generators produce resources.
You either play one card you can afford (pay its cost, apply its effect), or discard one card.
Discarding is free but uses up your turn.
You draw back up to a full hand, and play passes to your opponent.
Some cards bend these rules:
Play again: after playing it, you get another action this turn.
Rotekassa and Speiderguttene: draw a card, then discard a card, then play again.
Bestemors Klokke can't be discarded. Nobody throws out grandma's clock; the only way to get rid of it is to play it.

With a turn timer, running out of time discards your least useful card.
After a game, Rematch asks your opponent for another round with the same rules.
Tips for new players
Keep some wall up. Most green cards deal plain damage, and a wall turns that into a nuisance instead of a disaster.
Cheap generator cards (Tømmerhoggere, Lærlinger, Kroverten) are strong early and weak late.
Don't hold on to cards you won't afford for many turns. Discard them for a fresh draw.
Watch your opponent's stockpiles: 25 kumpaner might mean Torden-Tor is coming.
