Description

Piet Hein (1905–1996) was an important Danish polymath active in the fields of poetry, mathematics, and design. Between the 1960s and 1970s, he collaborated with the Danish manufacturer Skjøde Knudsen to produce a series of games, including the Soma Cube, Hex (Con-Tac-Tix), Polytaire, and Morra.

Skjøde Knudsen was originally a bookkeeper who later began manufacturing wooden games. Combining design with fine craftsmanship, these products became popular in Danish households and were even embraced by the Royal Family at Amalienborg. The collaboration between the two parties lasted for approximately one decade, ending in 1973.

Tower / Tårnspil, listed as No. 673 in this series, was designed in 1966. It is a three-dimensional game combining rotational mechanisms with elements of chance. Players take turns placing balls at the top of the tower and rotating its individual tiers, influencing the paths of the balls and accumulating points.

Rules of Play

1. “Tower Game” is played by 2–6 persons. – 1 red, 7 light, and 40 dark balls are required. Red ball goes for 10 points, light ball for 5 points, and dark ball for 1 point.

2. Before starting – each player pick up 1 light and 4 dark balls. The rest is filled into the holes on top of the tower.

3. The player now puts one or more balls into the tower, maximum 10 points, and may then turn one of the grooved discs one notch (1/9 turn) – according to the value of the balls filled in.

4. The balls which drop into the pit go to the player.


Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back. — Piet Hein
