Twenty9oh7: /* VARIANTS */

== GOAL==

Terraform a planet to preserve the future of humanity! Earn points for your corporation by laying the tetris-like infrastructure on your planet efficiently to advance your resource track and by rescuing lifepods, removing meteor debris and completing objectives. Whose will be the best? Planet Unknown.

Instructions are for a standard 3-6 player game, with variant descriptions at the end.

== COMPONENTS and SETUP ==

The game consists mainly of:

- SPACE STATION ~ A 2-tier lazy susan filled with polyomino-shaped tiles.

- POLYOMINOS ~ Tetris-shaped tiles of varying sizes and shapes. All tiles are have 2 colors on them.

- PLANET ~ Everyone receives an identical player board bearing a planet. The planet features a grid to be terraformed (filled) with tiles, 6 barrel-shaded lifepods to rescue, and blue water features to irrigate. Gold medallions around the planet show how much each row and column are worth if completely terraformed.

- RESOURCE TRACKS ~ The player board also shows 5 resource tracks on the right-hand side. Everyone's board is the same and their tracks all start at zero.

- OBJECTIVE CARDS ~ At the top of the player board are 3 objectives and everyone's progress toward them.

- STATION COMMANDER TOKEN ~ The golden commander wings rotate clockwise each round to indicate start player.

Additional elements are described below.

== TURN ==

1. The start player may rotate the lazy susan space station until the polyomino depot of their choice is facing them.

2. Players simultaneously draft 1 of the 2 polyomino tiles available from the depot facing them.

3. Players simultaneously place their polyomino tile on their planet according to placement rules, adding a meteorite token if the corresponding symbol is present on their tile.

4. Players simultaneously advance resource track markers based on the colors of the polyomino tile they placed, receiving the benefit of their progress.

5. Start player marker moves clockwise and a new round begins.

== POLYOMINO TILE PLACEMENT ==

The first polyomino tile of the game must be placed within the planet's grid so its edge touch the grid's border.

Additional tiles must be orthogonally adjacent to a pre-existing tile.

All tiles must be place fully within the planet's grid and cannot overlap or cover other polyomino tiles.

Tiles can be rotated and flipped prior to placement.

Meteorites ~

Some polyomino tiles depict a meteor symbol. When placed on the planet, a meteorite token is placed with it. You must remove the meteorites with your rover in order to score points for the rows and columns you complete. The meteors can also be worth points at the end of the game.

Lifepods ~

Collecting the barrel-shaped lifepods with your rover earns you extra points, but be careful ~ placing a polyomino tile on a lifepod destroys it!

== RESOURCE TRACKS/TILE COLORS ==

Every polyomino tile bears 2 colors. The colors correspond to those on the resource tracks. Everytime you place a polyomino tile on the planet, you get to move up the resource tracks that correspond in color.

Each of the 5 resource track provides a unique benefit, which you claim as soon as the marker reaches a milestone icon. Advance strategically to create synergistic combos!

BLACK Track / Tiles (Civ) ~

When you reach a DOME icon on the Civ track, select a Civ Card for an immediate or end of game bonus. You will receive the card after all players have placed a tile and moved their track markers.

If multiple players reach a Civ milestone in the same round, players select cards in clockwise order starting with the current start player.

BLUE Track / Tiles (Water) ~

The water track is only advanced when you lay the blue portion of a polyomino on a blue space on the planet. You can place blue tiles anywhere on the planet, but they only advance the water track when placed over the water squares on the planet.

Water does not provide a unique benefit but is worth the most points.

GREEN Track / Tiles (Biomass) ~

When you reach a TREE icon, gain a Biomass Patch to immediately place on the planet following normal placement rules.

:• Biomass Patches do NOT advance the track when placed on the planet. They only help to fill in space.

RED Track / Tiles (Rover) ~

When you reach a VEHICLE ICON on the rover track, place a rover token onto the polyomino tile that triggered it.
:• It may be placed on a meteorite if desired.
:• It does not need to be placed on the red portion of the tile.

When you reach a NUMBER on the Rover track, move your rover(s) on the planet a combined amount equal to the track number.
:• The movement can be split between multiple rovers, such as moving 1 rover 2 spaces and another 1 space instead of moving 1 rover 3 spaces.
:• Rovers only move orthogonally (i.e. horizontal and vertical)
:• Rovers can move anywhere on the planet. They are not restricted to moving only on polyomino tiles.
:• When a Rover enters a space with either a Lifepod or Meteor, the component is collected.

If you reach the top of the Rover Track, you continue to be able to move the rover when red tiles are placed.

If a tile or biomass patch is placed on the rover, the rover is destroyed.

GRAY Track / Tiles (Tech) ~

Milestones on this track unlock permanent abilities that apply for the rest of the game:

LEVEL 1 ~ You don't have to place your tiles next to an existing tile. Place them anywhere on the board.

LEVEL 2 ~ You can store Biomass Patches and place them at the end of the game.

LEVEL 3 ~ Rovers move 1 extra space.

LEVEL 4 ~ Move 2 spaces up the Water track everytime triggered by normal tile placement.

LEVEL 5 ~ No longer place meteorites on the board.

TAN Tiles (Energy) ~

There is no track for Energy. Instead, when you place a polyomino with a tan square, advance any one track whose color borders the tan squares on the tile you just placed.

:• You may even advance the track of the other color on the polyomino tile you just placed. This effectively allows you to advance that track twice!

In addition to milestone icons, each resource track bears the following symbols:
:• GOLD MEDALLIONS - Players receive points at the end of the game for the highest victory point medallion reached on EACH track.
:• MULTI-COLOR SWIRLS - Immediately move a resource marker up one step on ANY resource track.

If your tile reaches the top of a track, you receive the maximum points for the track. Future tiles in that color have no effect (except for the red rover).

== END OF GAME ==

The final round is triggered either when
:• the last polyomino is taken from any of the depots on the lazy susan, leaving the depot empty -OR-
:• a player cannot place a tile.

If your tile cannot be placed on the planet, you get to choose a tile a tile anyway and advance track markers corresopnding to the tile's colors.

After all players have advanced their track markers, any biomass patches should be placed and end game bonuses activated.

===SCORING===

:• 1-3 points for COMPLETED ROWS AND COLUMNS on the planet that have NO METEORS in them. The amount of points earned is shown in the medallions around the perimeter of the planet.

:• RESOURCE TRACK points for each track, equal to the highest-value medallion your marker covers or has passed.

:• 1 point per LIFEPOD collected. Lifepods destroyed by tile placement are not scored.

:• 1 point per 3 METEORITES collected.

:• Points from End Game CIV CARDS.

:• 5 points per OBJECTIVE CARD whose goal you met.

The player with the most points wins!

If tied, the player with the least empty spaces on their planet wins! If still tied, the player with the fewest meteorites left on their planet is the winner.

== VARIANTS ==

2-PLAYER
:• The space station rotates ONE SPACE CLOCKWISE each turn. All other rules are the same.

SOLO
:• You have 3 private objects instead of 3 public objectives. During setup, choose 1 objective card to DISCARD.
:• The space station rotates one space clockwise each turn.
:• The preliminary target score for the solo game is 60 medals, and your final target score is adjusted based on the composition of the event deck.

PRIVATE OBJECTIVES
:• Each player chooses one private objective card. On BGA, you are selecting the card to DISCARD. If you meet the card's goal, it'll earn you 5 points at the end of the game.

EVENT DECK

Each round a random event card is drawn, simulating the hardships and lucky breaks encountered in the course of terraforming a planet.
:• Events must be executed by all players possible.
:• All actions on the card must be carried out, if possible.
:• When the last card in the event deck is played, that is the last round of the game. There are 20 event cards in the deck.

ASYMMETRIC CORPORATIONS

Player boards offer different player abilities that you can level up during the game. They also come with special limitations.

ASYMMETRIC PLANETS

Each player develops a unique planet:
:• K-273 ~ It's unique challenge is its ice. Your tiles must be placed 100% on ice or 100% on land portions of the planet. The tile may bot overlap both terrain types.
:• GAIA ~ Score 2 points for each city on your planet that isn't covered by a tile, but score completed rows and columns per usual rules.
:• PERSEPHONE ~ The planet is divided into 4 quadrants, each with one restricted resource. You must try not to place that resource type anywhere in that quadrant.
:• ARASHI ~ The ringed planet. The ring covers the longest 2 rows on the planet. Every tile placed on the planet's ring must have at least one square outside the ring. Biomass patches can't be place on the ring.
:• PETRA ~ Electrical currents run across the planet, but there is no ice anywhere. Treat the currents as energy terrain for tile placement.
:• TARTARUS ~ An impassable chasm cuts across the planet. Rovers cannot move across it unless they have special diagonal movement tech.
:• CHARYBDIS ~ Start your terraforming at the giant pit in the center of the grid instead of on the outer border.
:• K'AAX ~ Toxic terrain dots the surface of the planet. The spaces must be terraformed before your rover can travel on them.
:• PAJITNOV (The creator of Tetris, 1984) ~ Tiles must be able to slide into place, from any any direction, instead of being dropped onto the planet. Biomass patches, however, can be placed as normal.
:• OBLIVION ~ Lay water tiles over the ice masses at the corners to advance the track. Treat areas outside of the grid as if they do not exist when scoring.
:• CERBERUS ~ A cluster of 3 planets. Gain 2 bonus points for each planet that your tiles completely cover. Treat areas outside of the grid as if they do not exist, for scoring purposes.
:• LACUNA ~ A fractured planet. You many not place tiles over the holes. Treat the holes as if they do not exist when scoring.

Twenty9oh7: /* Doors */

==Summary==
Lady and the Tiger is a collection of five different games with similar contents.

==Doors==
* At the start of each round, shuffle the 4 door cards together and deal 1 to each player. Each player looks at their card which contains two traits: color (red or blue) and role (lady or tiger).

 
* One player is the collector, the other player is the guesser. The collector goes first.

 
* On the collector's turn, take 1 card from the 4 displayed and place it face up in front of you. The display will refill to 4 face up cards immediately.

 
* If after collecting a card from those displayed you have a set of 4 cards with a matching trait that is shared with one of your identity traits, reveal your identity and earn 6 gems. The round ends.

 
* On the guesser's turn, discard a card from the display and refill immediately. Then you may guess one of the traits of the collector's identity (color or role) or you may try to guess both of the collector's identity traits (color and role).

 
* The guesser earns 1 gem if they correctly guess 1 trait, but they receive 5 gems if they correctly guess both traits. Be wise in your guess because if you are incorrect, the collector earns 4 gems.

 
* The round ends after a guess has been completed, but a guesser may also earn 2 gems for having discarded a set with the collector's cards. The round ends and the guesser receives 3 points if the deck is depleted before the collector can collect a set of 4 cards matching one of their traits.

 
* The wild color card counts as both colors and the wild role card counts as both roles.

 
* The first player with 10 gems wins.

Twenty9oh7: /* Psychic Cards */

==Objective==
Play ghost cards to gain the majority of mansions, or forfeit them to gain powerful psychic assistants.

==Gameplay==
Ten cards are placed in a line, each one with a random mansion token (yellow for manor, pink for castle) on it. The first nine cards are psychics.

Each player starts with a hand of five cards.

The game is played over 10 rounds, each corresponding to one of the ten cards, left to right.

* On your turn, play any number of cards from your hand onto your side of that round's card. (Psychic card effects apply instantly.)
* At the end of your turn, if the total on your side of the value is higher than your opponent, it is your opponent's turn.
* If it is not the case, you must withdraw from the mansion and your opponent wins it.

At the end of each round:
* Whoever won the mansion takes the manor/castle token.
* Whoever withdrew takes that round's psychic card and adds it to their hand, and may play a card face-down to the 10th round card.
* Each player draws 2 ghost cards.

The 10th round isn't played like the others: instead, players reveal the face-down cards they have set aside there, to see who wins it.

==End of Game==
* You win instantly if you get 4 manors (yellow) or 3 castles (pink).
* If none of the winning conditions are met after the 10th round, the player who won the 10th round wins the game. (If tied, most mansions wins; if still tied, the game ends in a draw.)

Twenty9oh7:

==The deal==
Cribbage uses a standard 52-card deck of cards. The jokers are removed; the suits are equal in status. The players cut for first deal, with the player cutting the lowest card (the ace counts as one, and is the lowest card) dealing first. If the cutters tie, the cards are re-shuffled and re-cut. Cards are dealt so that each player ends up with four cards after the crib is formed, and the crib should also have four cards. For two players, each is dealt six cards. For 3 players, each is dealt 5 cards and 1 card is dealt to the crib. For 4 players, each player is dealt 5 cards and the players sitting opposite each other are on a team.

==The crib==
Once the cards have been dealt, each player chooses four cards to retain, discarding the other one or two face-down to form the "crib" that will be used later by the dealer. At this point, each player's hand and the crib will contain exactly four cards.

===Example crib===

|}

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

==The starter==
After the crib is laid away, the non-dealer (pone) cuts the undealt portion of the deck, and the dealer reveals the top card of the bottom section, called "the starter" or "the cut", placing it on top of the deck face up. If this card is a Jack, the dealer scores two points for "his heels". The starter is not used in "the play" phase of the game, but is used later for making various card combinations that score points during "the show".

==The play==
"The play" (often called "pegging") starts with non-dealer (pone). Each player lays one card in turn onto the table so that it is visible, stating the cumulative value, or ''count,'' of the cards played so far. (For example, the first player lays a 4 and says "four", the next lays a 7 and says "eleven", and so on). Face cards are worth ten; aces are worth one. The other players continue to lay cards in turn without exceeding 31 until no cards can be played. The count must not exceed 31, so a player who cannot lay a card without bringing the count above 31 passes by saying "Go". The remaining player must lay a card if able to do so without exceeding 31. The last player to lay a card scores one point for the "Go" or two points if 31 is reached exactly. The count is then reset to zero and play resumes, starting with the player who passed by saying "Go". Players repeat this process until all cards have been played.

 

In addition to scoring one or two points for the last card, players can score additional points during "the play" according to the following rules:
* '''Fifteen'''
** For adding a card that makes a cumulative total of exactly fifteen, '''score 2 points'''
* '''Run (sequence)'''
** For completing a run of three cards, regardless of the order in which they are laid (''e.g. a 6, then a 4, then a 5 is a run of three even though they were not laid in order''), '''score 3 points'''
** For completing a run of four, '''score 4 points'''
** For each extra card of a run, '''score 1 additional point'''
** ''Note that runs are independent of suits, but go strictly by rank (9, 10, J or J, 9, 10 is a run, but 9, 10, Q is not)''. Aces are always counted as one and can be a run of (A, 2, 3) but never (Q, K, A)
* '''Pairs'''
** For laying a card of the same rank as the previous card, '''score 2 points'''
** For laying a third card of the same rank, or "triplet", '''score 6 points''', because triplets make 3 sets of distinct pairs each worth 2 points
** For laying a fourth card of the same rank, or a "double pair", '''score 12 points''',because double pair make 6 sets of distinct pairs each worth 2 points

If a card completes more than one scoring combination, then all combinations are scored.

==The show==
Once the play is complete, each player in turn receives points based on the cards in their hand. Starting with the non-dealer, players' scores are calculated. The starter card turned up at the beginning of play serves as a fifth card shared in common by all hands; thus each player’s score is based on their own four cards along with the starter card. Scoring combinations are the following:
* '''Fifteen'''
**For each separate combination of two or more cards totaling exactly fifteen, '''score 2 points'''
* '''Runs'''
** For a run of three consecutive cards (regardless of suit), '''score 3 points'''
** For a run of four consecutive cards, '''score 4 points'''
** For a run of five consecutive cards, '''score 5 points'''
* '''Pairs'''
** For a pair of cards of a kind, '''score 2 points'''
** For three cards of a kind, '''score 6 points'''
** For four cards of a kind, '''score 12 points'''
* '''Flush'''
** For a flush, where all four cards in the hand are of the same suit, '''score 4 points''', this is the only rule that does not apply to the Crib hand
** For a flush when the starter card is also of that suit, '''score 5 points'''
** For holding the Jack of the same suit as the starter card, '''score 1 point'''

Common combinations are often scored as a group. For example, a run of three cards with an additional card matching one of the three in value, e.g., 2–2–3–4, is termed a "double run", and scores eight according to the above rules, three for each of the runs and two for the pair. Even more valuable are "triple runs" (three three-card straights including a three-of-a-kind, e.g., 2–2–2–3–4, that score fifteen) and "double-double runs" (four three-card straights including pairs, e.g., 2–3–3–4–4, that score sixteen). Combined runs may also include fifteen-twos. A 24 hand, a large commonly seen, can comprise a double-double run and four fifteen-twos. Two examples are 4–4–5–5–6 and 6–7–7–8–8.

The dealer's hand is scored last and then the cards in the crib are revealed. These cards, in conjunction with the starter card, are scored by the dealer as an additional hand. The rules for scoring the crib are the same as scoring a hand, with the exception of the flush; a four-card flush in the crib is scored only if it is the same suit as the starter card (for a total of five points).

After the dealer's crib is scored, the second player becomes dealer. Similar to the first round, the next round starts with the deal.
 

==Winning the Game ==
When a player reaches the target score of 121, the game ends immediately ends with that player the winner. This can occur at any time during the cut, the play or the show. If during the show the non-dealer (pone) hand gives a point total that sets the score to 121 (or higher), the show phase ends, the dealer does not get to count their hand nor crib.
Example: The game can end on a cut of a Jack ("his heels") for the dealer.

** For holding the Jack of the same suit as the starter card, '''score 1 point'''

Common combinations are often scored as a group. For example, a run of three cards with an additional card matching one of the three in value, e.g., 2–2–3–4, is termed a "double run", and scores eight according to the above rules, three for each of the runs and two for the pair. Even more valuable are "triple runs" (three three-card straights including a three-of-a-kind, e.g., 2–2–2–3–4, that score fifteen) and "double-double runs" (four three-card straights including pairs, e.g., 2–3–3–4–4, that score sixteen). Combined runs may also include fifteen-twos. A 24 hand, the largest commonly seen, can comprise a double-double run and four fifteen-twos. Two examples are 4–4–5–5–6 and 6–7–7–8–8.

The dealer's hand is scored last and then the cards in the crib are revealed. These cards, in conjunction with the starter card, are scored by the dealer as an additional hand. The rules for scoring the crib are the same as scoring a hand, with the exception of the flush; a four-card flush in the crib is scored only if it is the same suit as the starter card (for a total of five points).

==The deal==
Cribbage uses a standard 52-card deck of cards. The jokers are removed; the suits are equal in status. The players cut for first deal, with the player cutting the lowest card (the ace counts as one, and is the lowest card) dealing first. If the cutters tie, the cards are re-shuffled and re-cut. Cards are dealt so that each player ends up with four cards after the crib is formed, and the crib should also have four cards. For two players, each is dealt six cards.

==The crib==
Once the cards have been dealt, each player chooses four cards to retain, discarding the other one or two face-down to form the "crib" that will be used later by the dealer. At this point, each player's hand and the crib will contain exactly four cards.

==The starter==
After the crib is laid away, the non-dealer cuts the undealt portion of the deck, and the dealer reveals the top card of the bottom section, called "the starter" or "the cut", placing it on top of the deck face up. If this card is a Jack, the dealer scores two points for "his heels". The starter is not used in "the play" phase of the game, but is used later for making various card combinations that score points during "the show".

==The play==
"The play" (often called "pegging") starts with non-dealer. Each player lays one card in turn onto the table so that it is visible, stating the cumulative value, or ''count,'' of the cards played so far. (For example, the first player lays a 4 and says "four", the next lays a 7 and says "eleven", and so on). Face cards are worth ten; aces are worth one. The other players continue to lay cards in turn without exceeding 31 until no cards can be played. The count must not exceed 31, so a player who cannot lay a card without bringing the count above 31 passes by saying "Go". The remaining player must lay a card if able to do so without exceeding 31. The last player to lay a card scores two points if 31 is reached exactly; otherwise one point is scored. The count is then reset to zero and play resumes, starting with the player who passed by saying "Go". Players repeat this process until all cards have been played.

 

In addition to scoring one or two points for the last card, players can score additional points during "the play" according to the following rules:
* '''Fifteen'''
** For adding a card that makes a cumulative total of exactly fifteen, '''score 2 points'''
* '''Run (sequence)'''
** For completing a run of three cards, regardless of the order in which they are laid (''e.g. a 6, then a 4, then a 5 is a run of three even though they were not laid in order''), '''score 3 points'''
** For completing a run of four, '''score 4 points'''
** For each extra card of a run, '''score 1 additional point'''
** ''Note that runs are independent of suits, but go strictly by rank (9, 10, J or J, 9, 10 is a run, but 9, 10, Q is not)''
* '''Pairs'''
** For laying a card of the same rank as the previous card, '''score 2 points'''
** For laying a third card of the same rank, or "triplet", '''score 6 points'''
** For laying a fourth card of the same rank, or a "double pair", '''score 12 points'''

If a card completes more than one scoring combination, then all combinations are scored.

==The show==
Once the play is complete, each player in turn receives points based on the cards in their hand. Starting with the non-dealer, players' scores are calculated. The starter card turned up at the beginning of play serves as a fifth card shared in common by all hands; thus each player’s score is based on their own four cards along with the starter card. Scoring combinations are the following:
* '''Fifteen'''
**For each separate combination of two or more cards totaling exactly fifteen, '''score 2 points'''
* '''Runs'''
** For a run of three consecutive cards (regardless of suit), '''score 3 points'''
** For a run of four consecutive cards, '''score 4 points'''
** For a run of five consecutive cards, '''score 5 points'''
* '''Pairs'''
** For a pair of cards of a kind, '''score 2 points'''
** For three cards of a kind, '''score 6 points'''
** For four cards of a kind, '''score 12 points'''
* '''Flush'''
** For a flush, where all four cards in the hand are of the same suit, '''score 4 points'''
** For a flush when the starter card is also of that suit, '''score 5 points'''
** For holding the Jack of the same suit as the starter card, '''score 1 point'''

Common combinations are often scored as a group. For example, a run of three cards with an additional card matching one of the three in value, e.g., 2–2–3–4, is termed a "double run", and scores eight according to the above rules, three for each of the runs and two for the pair. Even more valuable are "triple runs" (three three-card straights including a three-of-a-kind, e.g., 2–2–2–3–4, that score fifteen) and "double-double runs" (four three-card straights including pairs, e.g., 2–3–3–4–4, that score sixteen). Combined runs may also include fifteen-twos. A 24 hand, the largest commonly seen, can comprise a double-double run and four fifteen-twos. Two examples are 4–4–5–5–6 and 6–7–7–8–8.

The dealer's hand is scored last and then the cards in the crib are revealed. These cards, in conjunction with the starter card, are scored by the dealer as an additional hand. The rules for scoring the crib are the same as scoring a hand, with the exception of the flush; a four-card flush in the crib is scored only if it is the same suit as the starter card (for a total of five points).
