Rules summary
Goal of the Game
The goal is to get rid of your personal ink bottles by placing them on regions you've filled in ("objectives"). The first person to do this (or the one who places the most bottles) wins!
You start with
- 12 ink bottles for completing objectives of your personal colors (called your "palette")
- 12 ink bottles for completing of any color.
Gameplay
Movement
Move along the wheel to a space with a tile, then place that tile next to another tile on your personal board (your "painting")
If you move across the X space, you'll have to place an X tile on spaces matching the color of the X. (BGA will show you options of where to place it.) This will erase parts of your painting!
Completing Objectives
If you completed a region of the same color containing a number that matches the region's size, you can put bottles on every white space in that region. But these bottles may break up the region, so it's no longer connected!
You can see what your colors are in the Palette next to your name on the right side. Try to complete objectives of those colors!
Replenish the Wheel
Replenish the wheel with new tiles, then the next player can take their turn.
Passing
Instead of taking your turn, you can pass your turn and instead move 2 tiles from your Palette section to your Wild section
Bonus Abilities
When you complete a region of a particular size, you can take a bonus action based on the size.
Moving bottles
For example, you can move bottles on white spaces without numbers, or move bottles from your pallete section to your wild section. (You can't move bottles placed on numbers.)
This can help fix sections broken up by bottles or give you more flexibility later on.
