Players compete to build the most impressive pile of random objects. But, I should warn you, this is no time for complacency.
Special Rules
Weight / Score
Each Thing has a number representing its score, which may or may not be proportional to its weight.
Piling
A Player's Things represent a gently-swaying pile of objects, stacked in a specific order. When you play a new Thing, it goes onto the top of your pile.
