Overview

Tinderblox is a dexterity game where players compete to build a campfire using logs and cinder cubes. Players take turns flipping cards that instruct them on how to add pieces to the fire, using only the provided tweezers.

The challenge lies in maintaining the structural integrity of the campfire. Players must carefully place the logs and cubes according to the card instructions without causing the fire to collapse. Successfully completing the instructions will see you add to the fire, while a collapse of the fire means you are penalised.
