RULES:
The object of the game is to get the highest score. Each player chooses a color and takes all tokens of that color. Shuffle the deck and deal each player cards based on the number of players. Place the rest of the cards facedown in a 6x6 grid. Each player reveals a card from the grid and whoever revealed the highest value goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. Return the revealed cards facedown.

On your turn, secretly look at two cards in the grid that don’t have an opponent’s token, returning them facedown, then perform exactly one of the following actions:
• place one of your tokens on any card in the grid that doesn’t already have one.
• remove any card from the grid and replace it with one from your hand, facedown, putting any token already there on top of it.
• Discard a card from your hand to swap one of your tokens on the grid with another player’s token.

Once all cards on the grid have a token, the game ends. Flip all cards over and score points absed on their numbers for each card your token is on, with these modifications:
• Two orthogonally adjacent cards of the same value are worth double.
• Cards orthogonally adjacent to a 0 are worth 1 and can’t double or contribute to a double.
• You gain 10 bonus points for each card that is orthogonally adjacent to four cards with your tokens on them

Finally, you lose points equal to the value of cards in your hand. Add up the scores, and the player with the most wins.
