GAMEPLAY

The drawing pile is shuffled.

Each player starts with 8 cards on their hand.

The first card from the drawing pile gets turned over.

The starting player is chosen at random and the game runs clockwise.

In your turn lay out as many cards as you want as long as they continue the shape or the color from the top card. The decision between shape or color cannot be changed once taken.

For example: The top card is a green circle. If you lay out a blue circle, only more circles, regardless of their color, can be played in your turn.

When you cannot lay out any cards at the beginning of your turn, draw 3 cards from the drawing pile and skip your turn. The direction of the game changes.

The first player who has 0 cards in their hand wins and is chosen as the supreme samurai.

CARD TYPES

REGULAR CARDS: These cards are the most common and have both a shape and a color.

SINGLE CARDS: They only show one shape or color. Each Single Card is in the game once.

ELEMENTS CARDS: When you choose the Elements Card, no other card can be played in your turn. It can be layed on any card. Choose which shape and color it should become and it will do so. An Elements Card cannot be played as the last card from your hand.

ADDITIONAL RULES

If the card that gets turned over at the beginning is an Elements Card, any card can be layed out by the first player.

It is possible to draw 3 cards and skip your turn at will even if you could lay out cards.

Single Cards cannot be placed on other Single Cards.

If the drawing pile is empty, the game ends immediately. The players with the fewest cards in hand win the game.

In case the Elements Card is the last card on your hand at the beginning of your turn, each player may give you one card from their hand before you start laying out cards.
