The Tiles
There are 32 tiles in total, 8 of each colour: red, blue, yellow,
green. Each of them a bit curved around the edge to facilitate
handling during the game
Game play
Each player choses a color and takes the corresponding tiles.
The youngest player starts. In a turn a player can decide to
bring a new tile into play or move an existing one placed in
the outer lane. In the first turn the player can of course only
bring in a new tile.

Tiles are brought into play via
the corresponding colored corner. The player then moves the
tile 4 steps. One can decide to move the tile in 2 ways:
- following the outer lane: the tile is moved along the outer
lane. If the tile ends on top of another player’s tile,
the tile of your opponent is kicked out and removed from the
board and handed back to this player
- into the inner part: the player first moves the tile at least
one step along the outer lane. In the remaining steps the tile
is slided into the inner section of the board. E.g. a tile is
moved 2 steps on the outer lane, while it is slided the remaining
2 steps into the inner section of the board. Other tiles on
the board are slided along in the same direction (picture 3).
If this causes another tile to fall of the board, this tile
is handed back to the player. A tile can not be slided into
the inner part if the spot is occupied by another tile
After moving the tile, it is to the next player to start his
turn.
The game ends whenever one of the players has four of his tiles
in a row on the board (horizontally, vertically or diagonally).
Both tiles on the outer lane and the inner section are valid
(picture 4). The tile always has to move 4 steps, less is allowed
only in the situation where the player can compose 4-in-a-row
remark:
- one can not slide a tile diagonally into the inner part. As
a consequence a tile placed on the corner can’t move into
the inner section from this location.
- when a new tile is brought into play, the corner spot doesn’t
count as a step. it can only use the outer lane and not enter
the inner part yet. from the second move it can
- If accidently a player, during his turn, composes 4-in-a-row
for an opponent, then this opponent wins the game
- The game is best played with 3 or 4 players. In case of 2
players, each player choses 2 colors.
