Circadia
Long ago, the world of Circadia pulsed in perfect rhythm, each habitat watched over by its guardian spirit. But when Day lingered too long and Night grew restless, the strength of the guardians began to wane.
In this captivating card game, you and your fellow Guides compete as you restore balance to Circadia. On your turn, play Spirit Creature cards to create powerful sets. The stronger the set, the more valuable the Habitat you can claim. Each Habitat card brings you closer to victory by awarding Balance points. Carefully manage your hand and plan your sets to create a harmonious sequence of Day and Night cards. When one Guide reaches 15 Balance points, it is time for one final round. And the player with the most Balance points wins!

Rules summary
On your turn:
- Play cards
- Claim habitats
- Draw cards
Play Cards
- play any number of cards from your hand with the same numeric value
- they must be played on a new set or an existing set (of the same animal kind)
- the number you play must be equal to or greater than the card on the top of the stack
Claim Habitats
Count the number of cards on the stack and claim a Habitat Card that is a) of the same animal type and b) equal to or less than the number. The stack must be of the stack that you just played at least one card to. You cannot play Bear Forest cards and then claim a Habitat Card for the Goose Mist on that same turn.
Draw Cards
Draw cards from the display equal to the numeric value of the cards you played at the beginning of your turn. So if you played three cards with a value 1, you would only draw 1 card from the display.
Note that you have a hand limit of 8 cards.
End Game
When someone has 15 Balance Points, every other player gets a turn and then the game is over.
