How to win
The player who plays all their tiles first wins.
How to play
The player with the most four-of-a-kind tiles goes first. They start by playing any tile face up on the table. It is then the other player's turn.
Turns alternate between the players during which they place one or more tiles on the table. To play a tile it must be place next to at least one other tile, such that the tiles' corners meet. Both symbols along the shared edge must agree whenever two tiles are next to each other. "Next to" does not include diagonal neighbours.
On your turn, you start by playing one tile. If this tile is placed next to two or more tiles then you get to play another. This repeats until you play a tile next to only one tile. There is no limit to the number of tiles played in a single turn.
If it is impossible to play a tile, your turn ends. If you can play, you must do so.
If neither player can go, then the game is a draw.
