pinshape

Bandu is a fun stacking dexterity and strategy game with many exciting ways to play. The main goal in all of them is to build a tower using this collection of 34 different models of varying degrees of difficulty to stack. Most variations of this game involve having beans, which are used as game money, and bidding other players into using hard parts or favorable pieces. To get the best results from your prints, be sure to print these parts with a fine resolution and high perimeter and infill. You want them to be smooth and heavy. PETG is heavier than PLA, which is heavier than ABS. For detailed game rules, see the custom section.

Game start by dumping out three blocks per player and setting them in a common pool visible in the center of the table. All other blocks remain hidden within the game box. Each player gets one "foundation" piece, set anywhere but not moved once set. Make sure to use a sturdy table! Each player takes turns selecting blocks to build on their tower. Each turn you can choose to draw blindly from the box or from the visible common pool. * If you choose the box and don't like your pick, you can ditch the piece into the center pool for 1 gem and build nothing onto your tower. * Other players can choose to bid war against you to use that piece. If you win, you don't have to use it. * If you choose from the common pool, you can have any block you want for free. Anyone can then choose to bid war against you for that piece. The winner must place the block immediately. The last standing tower wins. If you have no gems, the game gets difficult, but you only lose if your tower falls over. If you lose, you can still affect the game by playing as a ghost player. As a ghost, you can haunt people by using your remaining gems to take part in bidding wars. If a ghost player wins the bid war, they place the block back into the box. Optional: Gem rewards for reaching specified tower heights before anyone else (6", 10", 14").
