## Rules questions

### Can I take any tile from the Moon Wheel or only those on the selection track?

You take tiles from the selection track; after you take a tile you refill the selection track from the Moon Wheel and then resolve the rest of your action (including advancing the moon marker). (p3)

### When I take a tile, how far do I move my moon marker?

After taking a tile you advance the moon track by the tile’s printed time cost (the number shown on the tile). (p2, p3)

### Do corner tasks count tiles diagonally or only orthogonally?

Corner tasks count only orthogonally adjacent tiles; groups of the same color that are orthogonally connected are counted as groups for task fulfillment. (p4)

### Does the tile I just placed count toward fulfilling its own corner tasks?

No — the tile you place does not count as part of the surrounding color groups for its own corner tasks (see the examples illustrating origin-color exclusion). (p4, p5)

### How is the solo game different — what changes should I watch out for?

Solo play uses a two‑phase sequence with token stacks, special selection‑track rules, and adjusted scoring/penalties specific to solo mode; follow the solo setup and procedures listed for single‑player games. (p6)
