The trick

Every level sits directly over the one below so the corner magnets stack in one straight line, and the pitched roof only holds because its two panels are pinned by the triangle ends between them.

What you will need

  • 14 square tiles
  • 2 triangle tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Lay the footing

    Make a floor and stand four walls up on it to start the tower.

  2. 2. Raise it a level

    Add four more walls on top, keeping every corner over the last.

  3. 3. Build the lookout

    Add a third ring of walls, but leave the front one off for a window to watch from.

  4. 4. Cap it with a roof

    Lean two squares together for the roof, then drop a triangle into each open end.
