HATI 2026

HATI is a cooperative real-time tower-building game for 2 to 6 players. Designed for children and families, players work together to construct a physical jungle tower and lift the elephant spirit Hati to the top before the sand timer runs out.

On each turn, a player plays one card and draws one card. Guardian cards allow players to place animal figures onto flowers; once enough matching figures gather, they must build a new level of the tower using those pieces. The animal figures vary in height and balance, shaping how stable the structure becomes as it grows.

Some action cards interact with the rotating jungle base beneath the tower. When Bichito cards are played, players must rotate the leaf board to align hidden insects beneath specific openings, adding a spatial and physical challenge to the construction. Other action cards can rotate turn order, flip or pause the timer, increasing the pressure as time passes.

The game unfolds across three progressive Rituals. Ritual 1 introduces the core system through increasing levels and optional missions. Ritual 2 adds Totems that impose persistent physical or structural constraints. Ritual 3 introduces mandatory structural patterns that must remain visible in the final tower.

If the tower collapses, players may rebuild as long as time remains. HATI creates a shared experience of coordination under pressure, encouraging perseverance, sustained attention, and learning to recover together when things fall apart.
