Full rules

  • Play one of your 10 cards. If the floor has a card of the same month (same picture, number at the top left) you take both; otherwise it stays on the floor.
  • Then the top card of the pile flips. If its month is on the floor, you take that too!
  • Sets: Brights 3 = 3 pt (2 pt with the rain Bright), 4 = 4 pt, 5 = 15 pt; Godori (3 birds) 5 pt; red / blue / grass ribbons 3 pt each; 5+ animals or ribbons and 10+ junk score 1 pt each and more (double junk counts 2).
  • At 7 base points choose Go (+1 pt, keep playing) or Stop (win now)! From the 3rd Go the score doubles each time. If you Go and your opponent wins, that's a Go bak.
  • Kiss (flip matches the card you just laid), double, sweep and ppuk grab steal 1 junk. If your card and the flip make three of a month, that's a ppuk (they stay on the floor); 3 ppuks win instantly!
  • Holding 3 of a month lets you Shake (×2); with 1 on the floor it's a Bomb (take all 4 + 1 junk + ×2). Bonus cards are taken at once and you draw another.
  • Win with junk bak, bright bak, animals ×2 or a mission to double the score! If your opponent wins first or it's a draw, the stage fails.
  • Stuck? A hint (watch an ad for a hint) shows a good card to play.
