Builders of Sylvan Dale, designed by Peter Ridgeway, is a unique three-dimensional tile placement game. Play a card and place a new dwelling on top of the ever-taller trees in the forest. Collect sets of cards to gain special actions, such as building bridges or magically growing treetops. Get your dwellings to stand out up in the trees, higher than those of your rivals, and be forever remembered as the greatest architect of Sylvan Dale! The game is played in two rounds. In each round, players place half of their tiles on the trees, trying to outsmart the other architects. At the end of each round, you determine which player has prestige over each tree and preeminence in each district, and you calculate fame points. The player with the highest total of fame points at the end of the second scoring phase wins!
