<hr />
<div>Official rules: https://gamewright.com/pdfs/Rules/gamewright_ShiftingStones_rules.pdf<br />
<br />
=== Actions ===<br />
<br />
On your turn you may either skip your turn and draw 2 cards, or do as many of the following actions as you want before passing. You may not skip your turn twice in a row. When you run out of cards you'll have to end your turn. <br />
<br />
==== Shift Stones ==== <br />
Discard a card, then switch any two adjacent tiles. (No diagonals.)<br />
<br />
==== Flip Stones ==== <br />
Discard a card, then flip over a tile.<br />
<br />
==== Score a Card ====<br />
Reveal a card from your hand that matches a pattern on the tile grid. Place it face-up in front of you. (The card must match exactly, and may not be rotated or flipped.)<br />
<br />
==== Ending your turn ====<br />
Draw back up to 4 cards. <br />
<br />
=== Shuffling ===<br />
If the Draw pile runs out, the Discard pile will be shuffled back in.<br />
<br />
=== End Game Condition ===<br />
After any player has scored a certain number of cards, the game will end after that round is completed. The number of cards depends on the number of players:<br />
<br />
* 2 Players, 10 Cards<br />
* 3 Players, 9 Cards<br />
* 4 Players, 8 Cards<br />
* 5 Players, 7 Cards<br />
<br />
=== Final Scoring ===<br />
Each player's score is the total of all the points in their scored cards, plus the player with the most 1-point cards gains a bonus 3 points (in case of a 1-point card tie, each tied player gets 3 points).<br />
<br />
In case of a total-score tie, players share the victory (there is no tie breaker).<br />
<br />
=== Solo Game Variant ===<br />
Cards: 8 x 1 Point, 4 x 2 Points, 3 x 3 Points, 1 x 5 Points<br />
Goal: To win you must score all 16 Pattern cards<br />
Strike: If you end a turn without scoring at least one Pattern card you get a Strike. If you get 4 Strikes the game ends in a loss</div>GV416
