Denisovan8: Simple fix to wordings.

''Soluna'' is a simple and fast-playing 2-player brain teaser for adults or children.

The game consists of twelve double-sided discs; each disc has one of four space-themed symbols (sun, stars, moon, comet) on one side, and a different symbol on the other side. Players alternate to combine discs or stacks (of discs) on the table, until one player has no valid turn.

=== Goal ===
The first player to win four rounds wins the game.

A round is won when a player blocks their opponent, by leaving them no valid turn.

=== Start of Game/Start of Round ===
All discs are placed randomly on the table, one by one (alternately), by the two players. Each disc's face (side) is also chosen randomly. This results in a varied set of symbol at the start of each round.

Players take their turns, alternately.
* For the first round, players decide amongst themselves who should start.
* For all other rounds, the player who lost the previous round should start.

=== Turn summary ===
On their turn, a player takes one stack and places it on another stack that is either:
* same '''height'''
* same '''top''' symbol (compare only the symbol on the top disc of stacks)

Stacks cannot be divided.

If a player is unable to make a valid move, see "'''End of the round'''" below.

=== End of the round ===
The round ends when one of the players cannot move any stack: that player has lost the round (and the other player wins that round).

For example, a round will end with either of these two scenarios:

* All 12 discs are together in one stack (the other player cannot put a stack onto another stack)
* Both of these are true:

# all stacks have different symbols on their top disc, and
# all remaining stacks have different heights (all contain a different number of discs)
