## How it plays

- The Collapse: leave a clear shaft from top to bottom, fill rows beside it, then Collapse to clear the banked rows together. The well loses that column for the rest of the floor and never goes below six columns.
- A run is ten floors. Each floor is a job that changes what done means: Lay the Foundation, Clear the Site, Controlled Demolition, Material Shortage, Load Path Survey, Lay the Slab, Punch List.
- Your pieces are a deck. Between floors you buy supplies and relics that rewrite a rule for the rest of the run.
- The Fabricator: draw your own piece on a 5 by 5 pad, three to six cells, name it, and buy it into your deck.
- Four foremen, each beaten head to head, best of three, in one shared well. Twenty Building Codes to certify.
- Modes: Career, Daily Site (everyone gets the same plan), Overtime (endless), Contract (pick the job each floor).

## AI disclosure

People designed the game, made every rule call and playtested every build. AI agents wrote the code under heavy human direction, and the foreman portraits, backgrounds, voices and music are AI-generated. The blocks and everything in play are drawn by the game's own code.
