djpakammWelcome to *Shifting Stones*, a pattern matching game for [blue]1 to 5 players[/blue] The goal of the game is to earn the [red]most points[/red] by matching the pattern cards in your hand to the [green]nine stone tiles[/green] on the table. (depending on number of players) Let's see how it's done!1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
djpakammEach pattern card depicts a scenario where the stone tiles are arranged in the 3x3 grid. Color and orientation must match [img]https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/tutorials/img6976f18b08f762.66502464.jpg[/img] The card on the left is [green]correct[/green], matching both color and location. The card on the right matches color but [red]not location[/red] and cannot be scored !!! Card values found are 1, 2, 3, and 5 points2hlpc000
djpakammIn order to match patterns, players take turns [green]shifting and flipping[/green] stone tiles. In order to do so, a pattern card must be discarded from your hand !!! You don't have to discard cards to score one if there is a match on the table already [tip] If your hand doesn't look promising, you can [blue]skip your turn[/blue] and draw 2 cards. You cannot skip your turn two times in a row3hlpw000hlpw 3
djpakammLet's make our [green]first[/green] move! We are going to position the stones so that we score our *2 point* card. First, click the 1 value green/pink card. Then click the yellow stone on the right side and *[blue]Flip[/blue]* the stone4archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment010front6 18 mycard4 17
djpakammThe stone tiles are *two sided* and can be flipped when needed by discarding a card [tip] There are 3 purple/blue and white/green tiles, 2 orange/pink tiles, and a single yellow/black tile1hlpc6234a652f057c00
djpakammSelect the 1 point green/white card. Click the black stone first, then the purple stone, and *[blue]Shift[/blue]* them !!! Please select them in the correct order or the tutorial will lock2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6234a652f057c10front5 19 back6 18 mycard1 17
djpakammNow select the *2* point card in your hand and *[blue]Score[/blue]* it!1mycard36234a6599ac3310
djpakammYou can follow how many cards your opponent has in their hand, how many they've scored, and how many of those cards are worth 1 point. !!! End-game triggers at the end of a round after a player has scored a certain amount of cards based on the number of players (see reference card)1player_board_898582666234a65bda29400
djpakammAnd that is how to play *Shifting Stones*! The highest score wins. *[green]3 bonus points[/green]* are awarded to the player with the most "1" value cards at the end of the game. [tip] In the in-game preferences (top right menu), you can enable the "Try buttons" preference that allows you to preview each tile move before confirming it! I hope you enjoy the game :)2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6234a65bda29400
