Game Setup
- Deal 12 cards to each player, arranged in 3 columns and 4 rows, face down.
- Place the draw pile in the center and turn over the first card to create the discard pile.
- Each player turns over two of their cards to start the game.
Gameplay outline
On their turn, a player chooses between:
- Drawing a cardfrom the discard pile (visible) or the draw pile (hidden).
- Replacing a cardfrom their grid with the one they just drew, or discarding it.
Each time a card is replaced, the player flips it face up.
Goal: form columns of three identical cards (same symbol or same value) to score points.

The game ends when a player has revealed all their cards.
All players then turn over their hidden cards and count their points.
The player who has accumulated the most identical columnswins the game!
Our Tips for Winning
-
Observe the visible cards
Keep an eye on the cards revealed by your opponents to anticipate their moves and adapt your drawing choices accordingly.
-
Effectively manage your exchanges
Don't change your card every turn: wait for good opportunities to complete a column or block another player.
-
Prepare your grid intelligently
Keep strategic free slots to facilitate future replacements. A good placement is better than a hasty move.
