Goal of the game
You are a colour guardian of the Kingdom of Colours.
There's a big party coming up and a lot of colours are expected!
There's likely to be an attendance record, and the wait to get in is sure to be explosive!
You're part of the team stationed at the entrance.
You'll need to be careful, because when two identical colours are next to each other, they explode and can cause a chain reaction! Arrange the colours skilfully so that the party doesn't turn into a fiasco before it even starts!
When you're outnumbered, you can get help from the Multicolour chief.
Only a gifted colour guard who can manage the colours while getting in the way of the others will be recognised!
