The game proceeds in two phases: first, the lake is formed by placing snowflake cards; then, lotus flowers are placed and cards are removed to create majorities.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Goal:&#039;&#039;&#039; To have the most of your own lotus flowers on the lake at the end of the game.<br /> <br /> == Gameplay ==<br /> The game consists of 2 phases. In both phases, players take alternating turns.<br /> <br /> === Phase 1: The Ice Freezes ===<br /> In this phase, the playing area (the lake) is constructed.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Draw a card:&#039;&#039;&#039; Draw 1 card from the deck.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Play a card:&#039;&#039;&#039; Place the card so that at least one side touches an already placed card.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Place a lotus flower (Optional):&#039;&#039;&#039; If 4 snowflakes of the same color form a 2x2 square, the player of that color may immediately place one of their lotus flowers in the center of that square.<br /> <br /> Phase 1 ends immediately when the last card is drawn from the deck.<br /> <br /> === Phase 2: The Ice Melts ===<br /> In this phase, cards are moved or removed to shift majorities. On your turn, you must choose one of the following actions:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Move a card:&#039;&#039;&#039; Move a card to a new position. The card must be &quot;free&quot; (no lotus flower on it), and the lake must remain a single connected group of cards.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Remove a card:&#039;&#039;&#039; Choose a free card (without a lotus flower) and remove it from the game entirely.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Place a lotus flower:&#039;&#039;&#039; If moving a card creates a new 2x2 square of 4 snowflakes of your own color, you may place a flower there.<br /> <br /> == Game End and Scoring ==<br /> The game ends when a player has no lotus flowers left in their supply or cannot perform any of the possible actions in Phase 2.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Winning Condition:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * The player with the most lotus flowers on the lake wins.<br /> * In case of a tie, the player who removed more cards from the lake during the second phase wins.<br /> <br /> == Variants and Options ==<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Expert Mode:&#039;&#039;&#039; Certain cards have special abilities that are activated when played or moved (e.g., blocking spaces or allowing extra movements).</div>
