About the Game

Green is the first game of the GreenGreenerGreenest set. Green, Greener and Greenest are three games that use the same set of components.

Green is a game for 3 players derived from The House of the Flying Blades and brother game of RED and BLUE, by the same designer, that uses a non-transitive capturing mechanism.

Depending on the set, you’d have:

Basic: a 6×6 board, 15 black pyramids, 20 green pyramids, 15 white pyramids.

Advanced: a 6×9 – 9×9 board (using one or both pads), 30 black pyramids, 45 green pyramids, 30 white pyramids.

Gameplay overview:

The board starts full of pyramids. Players in turn capture (mandatory) other pyramids or stacks of pyramids orthogonally so that:

- Black can only capture Green - Green can only capture White - White can only capture Black

The game ends when all players pass in succession. The player with the highest combined height of controlled stacks wins the game.

Please refer to the rulebook for detailed rules.
