(...) So a valid strategy would be to pile up a heap of blocks and let the humans figure out what the stacks are? Add in some random driving around to knock down opponent stacks, and you know what, that could be entertaining! BTW, I agree there is (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Two block tower and a four block tower. At least, that's the way I see it... More importantly, the current scoring really doesn't give me a reason to sort--the +1 for each right block doesn't come close to justifying the effort to sort when (...)

(...) My 2 cents: A tower is a tower is a tower. What should score is the hight, not the number of blocks that make up that hight. SO I'd score any three layer tower as a 3 blocks in the fabulous scoring sequence for hight points, even if each layer (...) (20 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) If a tower is built touching another tower, are they both considered free-standing? In otherwords, if someone builds a stack that is 2- or more blocks wide, how is that scored? Thanks, Wayne. (20 years ago, 10-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
