About this game

Abstract game wherein players are to place five tiles in a row. Tiles are drawn randomly from the bag. On a turn, a player may -- Draw a tile from a bag, with the player's color face-up. Rotate a tile. Remove one of your own tiles from the board, and any single tiles created from this action are removed. Change the color of a tile, provided the player has power over it. Place a protector marker over a tile.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
