			=== Play Area ===
			Each player has a "River" and a "Cup", and there are two "Mandalas" in the middle. Players take turns playing cards into the Mandalas.

			Once a Mandala contains all 6 colours, it is considered "completed" and players will take turns moving cards from the Mandala into their River/Cup to score points.

			===Placement Rules===

			Each of the two Mandalas has 3 areas: your Field, your opponent's Field, and the neutral Mountain.

			Within a single Mandala, a colour can only be represented in a single area of it - but as many times as you wish, e.g. if there are two greens in your opponent's Field, neither your Field nor the Mountain can have greens, but your opponent can add more greens to their Field later.

			However, the separate Mandalas do not affect each other.
