Mandala
Two players build and dismantle shared circular patterns by playing colored cards into two central mandalas and into their own fields. Cards follow a placement rule by color that locks each color to one area of a mandala, and turns alternate between adding single cards to the mountains or sets of matching cards to a player’s field. When a mandala contains all six colors it is “destroyed”: players take turns claiming colors from the mountain, placing one claimed card face-up into their river (which assigns future scoring values) and sending the rest to their cup. The game ends when the deck runs out or a player fills their sixth river slot; players score the face-down cup cards by the river positions to determine the winner.
