* At the end of the trick:
** The player who played the '''highest rank''' scores

:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

----

== Components ==

* 48 Playing cards
** 4 suits
** Ranks 1–12

* 15 Harmony cards

:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

----

== Card Types ==

=== Playing Cards ===

Each card has:

* '''Suit'''
* '''Rank'''

Ranks range from:

* '''1–12'''

---

=== Harmony Cards ===

Harmony cards show how many suits must appear during the current trick.

Possible harmonies:

* '''Solo''' = 1 suit
* '''Duet''' = 2 suits
* '''Trio''' = 3 suits
* '''Quartet''' = 4 suits

:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

----

== Setup ==

# Grab a pen and paper for scoring.

# Remove cards based on player count.

{| class="wikitable"
! Players !! Remove
|-
| 3 || Remove any 1 suit
|-
| 4 || Use all 4 suits
|}

Harmony card adjustments:

{| class="wikitable"
! Players !! Remove Harmony Cards
|-
| 3 || Remove 1 Solo, 1 Duet, 1 Trio
|-
| 4 || Remove all 3 Quartets
|}

# Shuffle the Harmony cards.

# Reveal 1 Harmony card face-up in the center.

# Place remaining Harmony cards in a face-down pile.

# Reveal the next Harmony card face-up beside the pile.

# Shuffle the Playing cards.

# Deal each player '''12 cards'''.

# The player who most recently sang a song leads the first trick.

:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

----

== Playing a Trick ==

The lead player:

* Plays any card from their hand.

Then, moving clockwise:

* Each player plays 1 card.

Players must follow the harmony if possible.

:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

----

== Following the Harmony ==

On your turn:

Count how many different suits have already been played this trick.

----

=== If the required number of suits has already been played:

You must play:

* One of the suits already played

----

=== If the required number of suits has NOT yet been played:

You may play:

* Any suit

'''Provided''' the required number of suits can still be completed by the end of the trick.

----

=== Forced New Suit ===

If the harmony can only be completed by introducing a new suit:

* You '''must''' play a new suit.

----

=== Impossible Harmony ===

If the required harmony cannot be completed regardless of what you play:

* You must still play a new suit.

:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

----

== Playing Off-Harmony ==

If you have no cards that follow the harmony:

* You must play '''off-harmony'''

To play off-harmony:

* Choose any card
* Play it face-up as normal

'''Important:'''

* Off-harmony cards are ignored during scoring
* Off-harmony players cannot score points

:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

----

== Scoring a Trick ==

After everyone has played:

Ignore all off-harmony cards.

Then resolve scoring:

----

=== Score Highest ===

The player who played the highest rank:

* Flips their card face-down
* Adds it to their scoring row

Each facedown card will be worth:

* '''2 points'''

----

=== Score Lowest ===

The player who played the lowest rank:

* Keeps their card face-up
* Adds it to their scoring row

Each face-up card is worth:

* Its printed rank

----

=== Discard ===

All other played cards:

* Are discarded face-down

Each player keeps their scored cards in a scoring row.

:contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

----

== Tie Breakers ==

If players tie for:

* Highest rank
OR
* Lowest rank

The player who played '''later in the trick''' wins the tie.

----

=== All Cards Tie ===

If all players tie:

* The tie winner scores as '''highest rank'''
* No player scores '''lowest rank'''

:contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

----

== Next Trick ==

After scoring:

# Discard the current Harmony card.
# Replace it with the next Harmony card.
# Reveal the following Harmony card, if available.

Next lead player:

* The player who scored '''lowest rank'''

If no player scored lowest:

* The player who scored '''highest rank''' leads instead.

:contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

----

== Round End ==

After '''12 tricks''':

Each player totals their scoring row.

Scoring:

* Each '''facedown''' card = 2 points
* Each '''face-up''' card = printed rank

Record scores.

If only 1 round has been played:

* Set up and play a second round.

First player of Round 2:

* The player who scored '''lowest rank''' in the final trick of Round 1.

:contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

----

== Game End ==

After Round 2:

* Add both round scores.

The player with the highest score wins.

'''Tie:'''

* Victory is shared.

:contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

----

== Clarifications ==

* Players may NOT look at:
** The discard pile
** Opponents' facedown scored cards

* In a '''Solo''':
** All players must play the same suit as the lead.

* In a '''Trio''' with 3 players:
** Every player must play a different suit.

* In a '''Quartet''' with 4 players:
** Every player must play a different suit.

* If harmony becomes impossible:
** You must still attempt to introduce a new suit.

:contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

----

== Strategy Tips ==

* Going late in a trick gives tie-breaker advantage.
* Sometimes playing low safely is better than chasing the high card.
* Watch which suits have already appeared before committing.
* Off-harmony hurts—protect your suit flexibility.
