Rules summary
Overview
Place Fireworks in patterns to meet objectives, whilst also trying to maintain fireworks of your Colour and Design
Turn
Either take a Firework or take an Objective then see if you satisfy any tasks
If you take a Firework, take one of the two visible ones and place it anywhere on your board either to an empty space or stack it on top of a previous one, there is no limit to a stack's height
If you take an Objective, pick one of the four revealed ones, you can take an objective you have completed or one you have not completed and wish to work towards later
Regardless of which you chose to do, finish your turn by checking whether any of your claimed objectives are now complete and move them to your scored area and do the same with any of the public Crowd-Pleasers (Objectives which anyone can complete without previously claiming them first)
Game End
The game can end in a few ways
When a player completes their 6th Private Objective, or one of the Firework stacks is completely depleted
Regardless of the cause of the end, finish the round so everyone took equal turns
Your Objectives and Crowd-Pleasers score their value (incomplete Objectives score nothing)
Fireworks of your colour score you based on their height in your board, only visible fireworks count, e.g. fireworks on ground level score 1 point, on the next level with one beneath them score 2 points and so forth
Fireworks of your design score you based on their height in your board, only visible fireworks count, e.g. fireworks on ground level score 1 point, on the next level with one beneath them score 2 points and so forth
The player with the most points, wins!
If tied, the player with the most Crowd-Pleasers wins!
