1The Workshop
With your season's money you buy ninots by theme and price, refresh the offer and hire artists who change the scoring. Pricier isn't always better: what matters is how they fit together.
Burnstack
A falla season
Buy ninots in the Workshop, stack a wobbly falla, let the jury count it piece by piece… then burn it.

Four fallas. One tower. One fire.
It's your season as a falla artist. Four fallas ahead, a Workshop on a tight budget and a jury that always wants more. For each one you buy the ninots, carry them to the square one by one and keep the tower standing until it's time to plant it.
Then the jury counts it piece by piece, the firecrackers race round the square and the Cremà multiplies everything you built. Fall short of what the jury asks, or let the falla collapse, and your season is over. Short runs, real decisions.
What's a falla? Every March, Valencia fills its squares with huge satirical monuments crowded with figures called ninots. They're put up, judged, and on the night of the 19th they all go up in flames. Only the pardoned ninots are saved from the fire.

How to play
Every falla has four moments. What you decide in the first, you cash in on the last.
2The Plantà
Tap a ninot in your hand and it appears up top. The tower has real physics: it wobbles, slides, gets pushed by the wind and shaken by firecrackers. Pass the line, hold it for three seconds and decide: keep stacking or plant now?
3The jury
It counts piece by piece: each ninot's points, the scenes (touching ninots of the same theme), the topper and the height. Every number pops up over its piece.
4The Cremà
Light the fuse and the Cremà multiplies: every burning piece adds up and whole scenes burst into flare-ups. Jury × Cremà against what the jury asks: did you pass?

Seven themes to poke fun at
You start with four; Egypt and Japan open up in the higher sections and Space comes with Burnstack Plus (with Plus it shows up every season). Each season, four of the ones you have unlocked come up. Put touching ninots of the same theme together and you've got a scene: the bigger, the better.
Farmland
Farm girls, paellas, oranges and the flower offering.
Tourism
Tourists, pool floats, selfies and sangria.
Football
The drum fan, the boot, VAR and the ref.
Tech
Robots, streamers, emojis and the router.
Egypt
Selfie pharaohs, mummies, the sphinx and the pyramid.
Japan
Geishas, kabuki, the lucky cat and the pagoda.
SpacePlus
Astronauts, rockets, Martians and the Moon. With Burnstack Plus.
Legendary toppers
From Section 6 on, the Workshop takes orders for toppers: huge figures that only count if they crown the falla when you plant it. Each one bends the scoring its own way.
Lo Rat Penat
The topper counts ×1 more. It's light.
El Drac del Patriarca
Takes the theme it touches most and joins its scene.
La Dama d'Elx
+2 m of height for the jury.
El Dimoni
The Cremà starts +0.7.
El Rei a cavall
Whatever it touches scores its points again.
La Fallera Gegant
If it touches Farmland, the topper counts ×2 more.
El Tio de la Porra
Each burning piece adds +0.15 (not +0.1).
Els Detectius
The topper counts ×1 more per theme it touches.
La Moma
Bonus height counts double.
Els de la tele
Each flare-up adds +1 (not +0.5).
Workshop artists
Hire up to three. Each one bends a rule: one doubles boxes, one lights the Cremà early, one makes the tower grip better.
El Cartoner
Boxes, triangles and heads are worth ×2.
El Pirotècnic
The Cremà starts with ×1 extra.
La Satírica
Scenes of 3 or more are worth triple.
L'Enginyera
Anything placed after planting is worth ×1.5.
El Fuster
More friction: the tower holds up better.
La Rematadora
The topper counts ×4 instead of ×2.
La Pintora
Cardboard takes the theme it touches most.
El Marxant
Your first Refresh in each falla is free.

The Ninot Museum
Once per season, before a Cremà, you can pardon a ninot and save it from the fire. It stays in the Museum for good, with its own little verse.
Over a hundred ninots sorted by theme, plus the legendary toppers. The collection fills up season after season.
