Game

  • Going clockwise players take turns until there are no tiles to replenish the market (20 turns each)
  • On your turn
    • select a pairing of tile and token
    • place the tile
      • must touch another tile
      • can’t go on top
      • can’t be moved once placed
    • place the token
      • tile must not already have a token
      • tile must show the matching token symbol
      • if it can’t be placed it is returned to the bag
    • restock market so there’s 4 tiles and 4 tokens again

During Play

  • If the 4 tokens are all the same they’re automatically wiped and replaced
