Player with the Quill begins ink selection.
choose up to 2 inks. if Black or gold is chosen then the other (black, gold) cannot be chosen. if only 1 color remains or only black and gold remain then choose 1 ink. until all ink have been chosen. Grimoire (book) can be chosen by itself at any time.
Then choose Lecturn (square with tiles on it) depending on unknown conditions you will either be selecting for yourself or for others. 1 lecturn will be returned to supply. The colour at the bottom represents the ink you have unlimited access to during your turn.
i believe player with grimoire starts placing tiles. if you have the matching inks at base of tile you can place it in correct spot on your pages by clicking tile then clicking location on page and confirming. Something allows you to continue placing tiles when you don't have correct ink sometimes, do not know what determines this or the penalties.
if you place tiles on pages matching scoring tiles then select tile from bottom row of main supply board. scoring tiles fill your spaces for saving tiles for later rounds
at end of round discard excess ink and tiles (greater then 7) by clicking on inks and tiles you wish to discard and confirm.
no idea what (2) bonus circles to left of pages do . if you click on it it brings up a selection that reads "release help " but does nothing. maybe awaiting more programing.
after 8 rounds tally score ( unknown ) and high score wins.
