Twisted Trumpets
Twisted Trumpets is a lively, competitive tile-laying game where you vie for the prestigious title of “Royal Bugler” by crafting the most whimsical trumpet in the kingdom!
On your turn, choose from three actions: draw a basic pipe tile from the face-down stack, trade for face-up premium tiles, or lay tiles on your player board to build your trumpet. As you go, you’ll create a fantastical, Dr. Seuss-like horn that twists and turns in all directions. Adorn your trumpet with flags, birds, and musical notes to meet various scoring criteria.
Additionally, you’ll race to complete any of the three public Royal Decrees before your rivals to earn extra points. Collect private Queen’s Plans cards, which challenge you to build your trumpet in specific ways by the end of the game to score additional points.
As you build your trumpet, you’ll trigger special bonus actions by covering “King’s Favour” scrolls on your player board. These scrolls let you choose one of these powerful bonuses: take a free premium tile, perform two additional actions, or gain an extra Queen’s Plans card. Each time you trigger the same favor, it becomes less powerful and eventually unavailable, so timing is everything!
The game ends when a player completely fills all but three squares on their player board. You’ll finish that round, then all players take one final turn. Everyone tallies their scores based on the length of completed pipes, sets of flags, notes surrounding birds, public objectives, and private goals. The player with the most points wins and becomes the new Royal Bugler!

Important Notes:
1. Meeple Stars can be earned on retail merchandise purchased through both our webstore and café shop.
2. Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT
portion of the price. For example, if you buy a game for £50, you’ll earn Meeple Stars on the net amount of £41.67 (the remaining £8.33 goes to HMRC), which would give you 125 Meeple Stars.
3. Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.
4. Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.
5. Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.
