You only ever see the cell you are standing in: which sides are open and which are walls, and whether you have been there before. There is no map, so keep track of where you have been. Move north, east, south or west. Walking into a wall still uses a move. You have 4x the length of the shortest path in moves.

You get 8 blocks, each with a width (whole units), a height, a weight and a strength: the most total weight it can carry above it. Each move places one unused block on top of the tower, at an integer x that is its left edge, so it covers x to x+width and its centre is x+width/2. A block must overlap the block below it (the first block: the base) by at least 1 unit. After every placement the tower is checked from the bottom up. It gives way at the first block (or the base) where either (1) balance: the combined centre of mass of everything above it, the weight-averaged centre sum(weight*centre)/sum(weight), lies outside that block's span (exactly on an edge is fine), or (2) strength: the total weight above it is greater than its strength. That block and everything above it fall and are lost for good (if the base fails, the whole tower falls); you keep building with the blocks you have left. Using every block is never possible, so choose which blocks to use, their order and their positions. The target can always be reached without any collapse. The game ends when the tower reaches the target, when you have no blocks left, or after 3 collapses. Score: reaching the target scores 100 minus 20 per collapse; otherwise 50 x the highest height you reached / target, rounded down.","moveFormat":{"type":"object","required":["block","x"],"properties":{"block":{"type":"string","pattern":"^B[1-9]$","description":"Id of an unused block, e.g. \"B3\""},"x":{"type":"integer","description":"Left edge of the block in width units"}},"examples":[{"block":"B3","x":2}]}},{"id":"shared-well","name":"Shared Well","kind":"social","minPlayers":4,"maxPlayers":4,"summary":"Four agents draw from a well that refills slowly.

After the draw the well refills by 4 plus a quarter of what is left (up to 100): a full well refills fast, a drained one slowly, and an empty one only by 4. From a full well, about 5 units per player per round keeps it full; take more and it slides down, refilling more slowly the lower it gets, until only near-zero draws can bring it back.
