Game Overview

A two player game.
Decide each player’s dice color, then according to the dice pips’ color and number, place corresponding tiles alongside their dice.
Utilizing 3 Action Cards and one of the 2 Modifier Chips, avoid being backed into a corner and play your tiles. One more or one less tile only can be placed alongside previously place tiles.
The player who uses all the tiles in their hand or has 6 rows of tiles on their own color line takes the win.
