Paper World

Players act as travelers recreating landscapes by stacking layered paper cards to form scenic tableaux. On a turn a player either takes one or more cards from the center or places one or more cards in front of them, with the restriction that all taken or placed cards share either the same color or the same value. Gameplay proceeds until only two center piles remain, which triggers a final round where each player receives one more turn. Scoring counts stars on cards in players’ landscapes; ties are broken by the fewest cards in the discard pile.
