Codinca

Two rival teams of treasure hunters manipulate a 4×4 altar of reversible tiles to recreate four key patterns etched on drawn key discs. Each player controls four tiles marked with one symbol and on a turn may swap and/or flip adjacent tiles according to a limited set of move options; players also hold Spirit cards that grant special moves like line pushes or four-tile rotations and carry trap patterns that flip a display to a specific arrangement. Players complete the required patterns — a 2×2 block, a straight line of four, four corners (including any 3×3 corner set), and a diagonal of four — in any order, and the first to achieve all patterns wins.
