FULL RULES
ReconstructionSetup
The 37 carved wooden pieces (biryulki) are held together vertically, then released to fall into a tangled pile on the playing surface. Players determine who goes first.
Piece Types & Points
Each piece type has a different point value based on its rarity and difficulty to extract.
Extraction
On your turn, use the hook tool to carefully pull a single piece from the pile. You must lift and remove the piece without causing any other piece to move or shift.
Fail Condition
If any other piece in the pile moves while you are extracting, your turn ends immediately. The piece you were attempting to extract remains in the pile. Your opponent takes the next turn.
Continuing Your Turn
If you successfully extract a piece, you may continue extracting additional pieces. Your turn continues until you cause a piece to move or choose to stop.
Pile Complete
When all 37 pieces have been extracted from the pile, the game ends. Both players count their total points from collected pieces.
Victory
The player with the highest point total wins. In case of a tie, the player who collected more high-value pieces (Barrel, Ladder) wins.
