Actions
On your turn you may either skip your turn and draw 2 cards, or do as many of the following actions as you want before passing. You may not skip your turn twice in a row. When you run out of cards you'll have to end your turn. Draw back up to 4 cards. If the Draw pile runs out, the Discard pile will be shuffled back in.
Shift Stones
Discard a card, then switch any two adjacent tiles. (No diagonals.)
Flip Stones
Discard a card, then flip over a tile.
Score a Card
Reveal a card from your hand that matches a pattern on the tile grid. Place it face-up in front of you. (The card must match exactly, and may not be rotated or flipped.)
End Game Condition
After any player has scored a certain number of cards, the game will end after that round is completed. The number of cards depends on the number of players:
- 2 Players, 10 Cards
- 3 Players, 9 Cards
- 4 Players, 8 Cards
- 5 Players, 7 Cards
Each player's score is the total of all the points in their scored cards, plus the player with the most 1-point cards gains a bonus 3 points.
