How It Plays
End Game Bonuses
Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!
I Cut, You Choose
One player divides something into portions and another picks first — it's a brilliantly fair way to split things up.
Pattern Building
You arrange pieces to create specific patterns that score points — like solving a colorful puzzle.
Set Collection
You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
Turn Order: Progressive
Turn order shifts gradually each round — the player in last often gets a helpful boost.
