Town 77

Try to build as many houses as you can, keeping in mind which houses in your hand can be built!

The inhabitants of this town can't stand houses of the same shape or color lined up next to each other.

Lots of thinking and strategy in Town 77, a tile-arranging game to be played again and again!

The first player places a tile in the top left-hand corner of an imaginary 7x7 square, then on each subsequent turn, a player adds a tile to a row or column of this square, provided that this tile is adjacent to at least one other tile and that the house color/style is not already present in that row and column.

After playing a tile, a player can choose whether or not to draw a new tile. Once you've reduced the size of your hand, you can't increase it. If you can't play a turn, you're out. Once everyone has been eliminated, the player with the fewest tiles in his or her hand - or whoever played last in the event of a tie - wins.

If you play your last tile, you win, but if you don't draw any new tiles, you risk not being able to play.
