Read the full game description

Each player has 24 different pieces composed of 1 to 4 segments in his/her own colour. On each turn players place their pieces on the board. A players first piece must touch the similarly colour-marked area on the board. Hereafter, each pieces must touch at least 1 piece of the same color. The game ends when both players are unable to place new pieces. If a player manages to place all pieces he/she is awarded -10 bonus points. All other players score the number of segments of the tiles they weren't able to place, each segment being 1 point. The player with the lowest score wins.
