Setup and Turn OrderThe TilesThe Course of the GameThe Solo Game

Setup and Turn Order

  • How many tokens does each player take in a three-player game?
  • Is there a fixed turn order after the first round?
  • Who goes first when several tokens share the rearmost space on the moon track?
  • How do you tell which token is furthest back on the circular moon track?

The Tiles

  • Can a task be completed by several separate adjacent tiles rather than one connected group?
  • Can a chain of same-colour tiles wrap around a corner to count toward a task?
  • Do all tiles of a same-colour chain count toward a task when only one chain tile touches the task tile?
  • Can a mixed-colour chain, such as light blue plus yellow, complete a multi-colour task?
  • In a multi-colour task, must every colour touch the task tile, and must the colours touch each other?
  • How long or how branched can a same-colour chain be when it counts toward a task?
  • Do four same-colour tiles in a straight line count toward a task needing four of one colour?
  • Does the colour of the tile carrying a task count toward that task?
  • Can separate same-colour groups combine to meet one task?
  • Can a tile that is already placed help complete later tasks?
  • Can a chain satisfy a task if it reaches the task tile only through a tile of another colour?
  • Does the doubling of neighbouring colours mean a tile is counted twice toward a task?

The Course of the Game

  • Must you place a token on a task in the turn it is met?
  • Must you refill the selection track when only one or two tiles remain?
  • If you are still behind after paying time costs, do you keep taking tiles?

The Solo Game

  • In solo, which track do you move when you take tiles?
  • In solo, what does 'refill the display' mean?
  • In solo phase 2, do you restart your tableau or keep the phase 1 tiles for scoring?
  • In solo, does phase 1 scoring double the time cost before phase 2 is added?
  • In solo, what if I complete more than 8 tasks in phase 1?
