don't be ridic.  tallest thing you could built is one great big fk off tower of chips, balancing vertically on one another.  castles need at least 30 chips if you wanna get good foundations in.

Good idea

that's no good - op clearly said you had to build on a table, not a hill.

how big a hill is your hill fort on? need to work out if it's higher than my castle. I'm assuming that the bungalow isn't up a hill as it's a bit pointless buying a house that you don't need to do stairs in but have to climb a hill to get to

the rest of you can give up now, i just built an exact 1/4 scale replica of the chrysler building.  I did use 18 chips though.  reckon i can get it within the rules if i make it 1/5 scale.

The hill is mid sized if I look at it square on, made of poker chips obv - could "the knockers" please read OP properly

ban for sexist name calling pls.

as long as the hill was built from the original allocation of chips then that's ok i suppose.  you should have made clear you built a hill AND a fort tho imo.

probs beats me then. my castle was mostly subterranean. I just used the 15 chips scattered around the table to represent the 12 fortified hatches that the soldiers use to go in and out and 3 observation portholes (I used glue to attach 3 to the tablelegs)

tbf it doesn't say in the op that you can't use glue, so i'm guessing it's ok.

thats just ridic, i suppose its ok to use 4000 9 inch bricks too, because it doesnt say in the OP.

Ruined a quality game that china had started.

it's not like I'm trying to gain an advantage with the use of glue. I've actually given my structure a negative height. the only person I'm losing to so far has dropped one of their chips on the floor and can't see where it rolled to
