Pile-Poils

Pile-Poils: Stack your cats!

Pile-Poils is a game of chance in which you must roll and place your dice to form a pyramid of cats. Placing one cat per turn is easy, but you may want to try your luck at placing two or three... Take risks, but beware of cat-astrophe! Place all your cats to win the game in this adorable dice game.

How to play Pile-Poils?

On your turn, roll the 5 dice and place one or more on a space on the shared board. To place one or more dice on a space, their total must equal the number indicated on the space. You then have a choice:

• Continue rolling the dice: take the dice that have not yet been placed and roll them again. Be careful: the fewer dice you have, the harder they are to place!
• End your turn: replace your dice on the board with your cat tiles. Be careful: cats cannot lie on empty spaces!

If you cannot place any dice after a roll or your cats are poorly placed, it's a cat-astrophe! Your turn ends immediately and you remove all the cats and dice placed during this turn.

Continue playing until the pyramid is full or two players have placed all their cats. If you place all your cats before the others, you win the game!
