The Buildings uses the gameplay found in Sky Scrapers, but creates new goals for new playing areas. In each game, you start with pieces of the two players on the game board. Each turn, a player moves one of their own stacks a number of spaces equal to the height of the stack, stacking it onto of another stack. A stack is owned by the player whose piece is on top. In the original Sky Scrapers game, included in this set, whoever has the most stacks that contain at least four pieces wins the game. A different game board crowns the player who has created the tallest stack. A third game board gives the win to whoever controls more of the six inner spaces on the game board.
