Make a floor and stand three walls on it, leaving the front edge open for a doorway.

The trick

Leave one base wall out for the door. The floor you lay on top of it ties the other three walls together, so the tower still stands square all the way up.

What you will need

  • 16 square tiles
  • 2 triangle tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Lay the base and door

    Make a floor and stand three walls on it, leaving the front edge open for a doorway.

  2. 2. Stack the middle band

    Add a floor and four walls in a paler colour to make the next stripe up.

  3. 3. Raise the lantern room

    Add one more floor and four walls; this is the room the light sits in.

  4. 4. Cap the lantern

    Lean two squares into a peak, then drop a triangle into each open end to seal the roof.
