== Overview ==

* Crazymino is a tile-placement game for 2 to 4 players, every player for themselves.
* Each tile shows four numbers (1 to 6), one in each corner, and has one of four colors: pink, green, yellow or blue.
* The board is a 14x14 grid of colored cells, with four central starting cells and twenty multiplier cells.
* The goal is to score the most points by placing your tiles cleverly.

== Setup ==

* Each player receives 20 tiles, kept hidden from the other players.
* One tile is drawn from the pile and placed automatically on the central cell matching its color. It scores no points and starts the game.
* The remaining tiles form the draw pile.

== On your turn ==

You must either '''place a tile''' from your hand, or '''draw a tile and pass'''.

=== Placing a tile ===

A tile may be freely rotated before being placed. A placement is legal only if '''all''' of the following hold:

* Every edge shared with a neighbouring tile matches: both numbers along that edge must be equal on the two tiles.
* Every corner touching a tile placed diagonally matches: the two numbers meeting at that corner must be equal.
* The tile is connected to the existing layout, either by '''at least one shared edge''', or by '''at least two matching diagonal corners'''.

=== Drawing and passing ===

* You may choose to draw one tile from the pile and end your turn, even when you have a legal move.
* This is only possible while the draw pile is not empty.

=== When you cannot play ===

* If no tile in your hand can be placed, you automatically draw tiles one by one until a move becomes possible.
* If the draw pile runs out and you still cannot play, you skip your turn.

== Scoring ==

The score of a placed tile is:

(sum of its 4 numbers + color bonus) x corner multiplier x cell multiplier

* '''Color bonus''': +10 if the tile color matches the color of the cell it is placed on.
* '''Corner multiplier''': count how many of the four corners of your tile touch at least one existing tile. A corner counts when any of the three cells around it is occupied.
** 0 or 1 corner: x1
** 2 corners: x1 if the tiles touching them belong to the same group, or '''x2''' if they belong to two separate groups (your tile bridges them)
** 3 corners: x3
** 4 corners: '''x5'''
* '''Cell multiplier''': the x3, x4 and x5 cells of the board multiply the whole score.

== End of the game ==

The game ends as soon as either:

* a player places their last tile. That player also collects, as a bonus, the sum of all the numbers on the tiles still held by the other players; or
* no player can move any more (the draw pile is empty and everybody is stuck).

The player with the highest score wins. Players with equal scores share the victory.

== Playing on BGA ==

* '''Place a tile''': drag it from your hand onto the board, or click a tile to select it and then click a cell.
* '''Rotate a tile''': click the selected tile again, or use the "Rotate tile" button.
* '''Draw and pass''': use the "Draw a tile & pass" button.
* '''Keyboard''': arrow keys move around the board, Enter places the selected tile.
* The star marks the four starting cells. Each color also carries its own shape, so the board stays readable without color perception.
* The detail of every score is shown in the game log.
