Players hold a rack of number-and-color tiles and take turns drawing, using special action tiles, or playing tiles into crossword-style groups on the table. Tiles are numbered 1–14 in four colors with duplicates; valid plays start a personal group (a set of same-number different-color tiles or a run of three or more consecutive numbers in one color) and thereafter may be added to or rearranged among table groups so long as no isolated pairs are created. On a turn a player may draw a face-up tile (replacing it from the bag), draw blind, use a special tile to force opponents to take tiles or pass tiles to neighbors, or play tiles from hand. The round ends when a player empties their rack; optional multi-round scoring assigns penalty points for tiles still held.
