About this game

Place colored hex tiles to extend lines of matching symbols radiating from each piece. Score points in six colors, but your final score is your lowest color. That single rule transforms every placement into a balancing act: extend your weakest color or block your opponent from doing the same. Hitting 18 in any color earns a bonus turn, creating critical tempo swings. A Knizia abstract that is simple enough for anyone, deep enough for serious players, and endlessly replayable. Works solo, in pairs, or with up to four.
