Setup

Turn Structure

1. On your turn, choose a Mission Card from any of the 4 levels.

Actions

Choosing a Mission Card

Select from any of the 4 difficulty levels:

Level	Difficulty	Points
1	Easy	100
2	Medium	200
3	Hard	300
Freestyle	Variable	200 or 300

Building the Castle

• Levels 1-3: Build EXACTLY as shown on the card.
• Freestyle: Build freely using the pieces shown on the card, following these rules:
  • Build up and out only (no pieces in front or behind)
  • Must use ALL pieces shown on the card
  • No piece may be farther than 2 inches from another piece
  • Castle cannot be more than 1 foot long
  • Pigs and bonus pieces must be ON a building block (not on the playing surface)

Build the castle facing the shooter. Any side of a girder can face forward.

Launching Birds

• Place the launcher at least 1 foot from the front of the castle.
• Shoot birds in the order shown on the card (left to right).
• If a bird appears twice on a card, use the same bird twice.
• Do not move any pieces until all pigs are knocked down or you run out of birds.

Scoring

• A pig is “knocked over” if knocked off the piece it was originally sitting on (bounces count).
• ALL pigs must be knocked over to score the Mission Card points.
• If all pigs are knocked over, you may also collect 100 bonus points for each bonus piece (star/egg) knocked over.
• No points for girders knocked down or birds left over.
• If not all pigs are knocked over, the Mission Card goes to a discard pile (0 points).

Scoring / Victory Conditions

The first player to reach 1,000 points after an equal number of turns wins.

Special Rules & Edge Cases

• You do not receive bonus points for knocking over bonus pieces unless ALL pigs were also knocked over.
• A pig bounced off its perch still counts as knocked over.
• Do not move castle pieces during your turn until scoring is resolved.
• The youngest player goes first.
