Beginners (6-7 years old):

• No time limit per turn; children can take their time to think. 
• Allow children to discuss with a partner to choose a placement together (encourages collaboration).

Advanced learners (8-9 years old):

• Add a limited time per turn (e.g., 1 minute).
• Introduce a turn rule: You may not place two figures in a row on the same level of the tower.

Experts (9–10 years old):

• Strict time limit per turn (e.g., 30 seconds).
• Add extra rules such as: A rule that you cannot correct your move if the tower tilts. The placement must be correct immediately.
• Extra challenge: Introduce a points or penalty system:

• Basic rule: Each successful placement = 1 point.
• Risky placement: A move is considered risky when the figure is placed on top or at the edge of a leaning tower, clearly reducing stability.
• Extra points:

• +2 points if the tower remains standing for at least one full turn after a risky placement.
• +3 points if the tower remains standing for two full turns after a risky placement.
• Penalties:
• 1 point if the tower falls during your turn.
• 2 points if the tower falls because of a risky placement that does not hold.
