Tier auf Tier: Das Duell

About this board game

Tier auf Tier: Das Duell is a two-player animal-stacking game that takes about 10 minutes to play. Based on the popular Animal Upon Animal, it challenges players to complete their towers before their opponent.

The game includes two dice and two sets of four animal figures. Each set contains an octopus, a tiger, a goose, and a squirrel, giving both players the animals they need for the duel.

• One die shows which animal to start building with.
• The other die shows which animal must go on top.
• A question mark lets players choose for themselves.

Players roll the dice and use the results to build their animal towers. The first player to complete a tower wins one coin, turning every successful build into progress toward victory.

The overall winner is the first player to collect three coins. With its simple dice-driven rules and animal stacking challenge, Tier auf Tier: Das Duell offers a compact head-to-head game for players aged 5 and up.

Designed for exactly two players, the game was released in 2008 and features illustrations by Michael Bayer. Its short playing time makes it a concise animal-building contest with an easy-to-follow objective: finish your tower, claim coins, and reach three before the other player.
