Tuned

Players arrange animal musicians on a shared 3x3 board by taking actions determined by a rooster marker that moves between action spaces. On a turn the rooster moves to an open action on the player’s side; choosing an “add” action places one of the player’s donkeys, dogs or cats onto the board following placement rules (donkeys only on empty spaces, dogs on empty or unencumbered donkeys, cats on empty or unencumbered dogs). Choosing a “move” action relocates an animal or a portion of a stack under the same placement constraints, with the restriction that the opponent’s immediately previous move cannot be reversed. The first player to create a straight or diagonal row of three identical animals showing on top wins; inability to add when required causes a loss.
