Ingenious
Place paired hex tiles on a shared hex grid to build lines of colored symbols. Each tile has two colored hexes; on a turn a player places one tile, scoring for each hex by counting adjacent and straight-line runs of matching color. Players keep six tiles on a rack, refill after each turn, and may redraw when their rack contains no tiles in their weakest color. Achieving a color total of 18 grants an immediate extra turn. The game ends when no more tiles fit or a player reaches 18 in all colors; the winner is the player (or team) with the highest lowest-color score.
