Menara: Rituals & Ruins

About this expansion

Menara: Rituals & Ruins is a cooperative temple-building expansion for 1–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Players work together to construct a precarious tower while managing new challenges, unusual temple floors, and rules that can change from game to game.

Before each turn, the temple builders gather information and seek advice from their fellow players. Construction plan cards show how temple floors must be equipped with columns, making careful cooperation, clever statics, and steady hands essential to collective success.

This expansion adds five new types of construction plan cards and eight tricky temple floors, each with its own rule. Named floors such as The Double Axe, The Bridge of Dangers, The Ring of Balance, and The Crescents of the Sun can make planning and communication more difficult.

• 13 rituals introduce changing rules and may require a completely different approach.
• Cards of fate determine which temple floor shapes may appear, without revealing every future floor at once.
• Red and blue tears of the gods must be cleverly built into the tower before the temple is completed.
• 10 ready-made scenarios provide distinctive challenges for a quick setup.

Choose a preset scenario or create your own combination of rules by mixing rituals and other new elements. From The Dark and The Slight Earthquake to Ruins and Tears and The Yellow Danger, Menara: Rituals & Ruins gives cooperative builders new ways to test their planning and balance.
