Alliances

This tricky game requires you to connect opposite sides of the board: purple to purple, orange to orange, green to green. To make those connections, you must use the colour matching the sides you are connecting… but your allied colour also works!

COMPONENTS

  1 gameboard
  42 green discs
  42 orange discs
  42 purple discs
  2 silver discs

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW (please refer to the rulebook)

On your turn, take a disc from the supply and place it on any empty space.

If you just formed a connection between opposite sides, with an uninterrupted chain of tiles of the sides’ colour and/or the allied colour, you win that colour, even if the disc you placed formed a connection for both of you.

When you win a colour, take a disc of that colour from the supply and place it on the corresponding cell of your chart, while your opponent places a silver disc on the same colour on their chart (they lost that colour). If you just won your second colour, you win the game.
