All tiles in your tableau must connect along like-colored edges.

When adding a tile with Faerie Cubes on it to your tableau, you must place all Faerie Cubes onto a section of colored land, and once placed, they can’t be moved.

The game ends when the final tile is placed in a player’s tableau. Scoring then takes place.

Scoring Link to heading

A complete section of land is defined as one with no free edges, and can be made entirely of diamonds.

For each diamond in a complete section, the player receives one point.

For each Faerie Cube in a complete section, the player receives one point.

Whoever has more points wins! In case of a tie, whoever has fewer Faerie Cubes in their tableau wins. If this is still a tie, the younger player wins.
