Each player has a set of pieces, walls, a tower, and a gate, trying to free their hand first or lose points. On their turn, one player is the builder while others secretly choose a piece. If the builder chooses a unique piece, it gets added to the wall; otherwise, a player matching the choice can build instead.
Walls can be any shape, but towers or gates must be adjacent to walls. Players can also create an empty fist; if the builder is the only one with an empty fist, they can choose a piece from their hand. The game continues until someone frees their hand, with penalties for any remaining pieces. It combines bluffing and deduction, making it a fun and quick pub game.
