Object

Be the first player to match (by color OR number) 4-in-a-row across, down or diagonally!

Components

Contents: 44 Tiles, 7 Trays, 1 Bag, 1 Base.

Set Up

• Place the Base in the middle of the playing area so all players can reach it.
• Place all of the tiles (44) in the bag, then SHAKE the bag to mix them up.
• Each player reaches into the bag and draws three tiles. This will be your "hand."

Let's Play

1. The youngest player goes first. Play then continues clockwise.
2. You play by placing a tile at the top of a tray and let it drop into place.
3. Once a tile is in play, it may be used by any player.
4. If the tile you place is adjacent to any other tile(s) – either below, beside or diagonal to them – it must match at least one of those tiles either by color or number. It does not need to match all adjacent tiles.

The instruction sheet illustrates Horizontal, Vertical and Diagonal lines of tiles.

5. If you are unable to play any of the tiles in your hand, you may discard 1 tile (place it back into the bag) and then "draw" another tile from the bag.
6. If you can play the tile you just drew, you may do so. If you can't, your turn is over.
7. Once your turn is over, make sure to draw back up to 3 tiles in your "hand."

Action Tiles

You will notice some tiles have special action symbols on them. If you play one of these Action Tiles, you MUST take the action indicated by the symbol. Before you take the action, think strategically as the right move can be to your advantage!

Swap

When you play a tile with the Swap symbol, you must "swap" the positions of any two trays.

To swap trays:

• Grab each tray by the groove at the top.
• Pull up on each tray and slide them out.
• Insert them into the new slots and slide them into place.

Push

After you play a tile with the Push symbol, you must push down on it forcing the bottom tile in the tray to FALL OUT. Return the fallen tile to the bag.

NOTE: if you place a Push tile into an EMPTY tray, you do NOT have to push it out of the bottom.

Minus 2

When you play this tile, the next player must place two RANDOM tiles from their hand back into the bag, leaving them only one tile for their next turn.

NOTE: after their turn, they then draw back up to 3 tiles.

Winning

The first player to get 4 tiles in a row either horizontally, vertically or diagonally WINS!

For Colorblind Players

Special graphic symbols have been added to each tile to help identify the color(s) on that tile. This will allow players with ANY form of colorblindness to easily play!

• ▲ = RED
• ■ = GREEN
• ● = YELLOW
• ✦ = BLUE
