Objective

To be the first player to get five tiles of your color in a row either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

Components

• 60 colored tiles (15 of each color)

• 1 portable tile holder with hooks
  

Setup

1. Choose Colors: Each player selects one color and takes the 15 tiles of that color.

2. Position Holder: Place the portable tile holder in the center of the playing area for easy access.
   

Gameplay

1. Starting the Game: The youngest player goes first.

2. Taking Turns: Players take turns placing one tile at a time on any flat surface. Tiles must be placed next to a previously placed tile (including diagonally).

3. Creating Rows: The goal is to create a row of five tiles of your color. Rows can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
   

Tile Placement Rules

• Tiles must be placed next to another tile (including diagonally), but it doesn’t matter which color they are next to.

• Tiles cannot be placed on top of each other.
  

Running Out of Tiles

• If you run out of tiles, you can pick up and move any of your previously placed tiles to an open spot on the board, following the placement rules.
  

Winning the Game

• The game is won when a player successfully places five of their tiles in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally).

• If all players run out of moves and no one has achieved a row of five, the game is a draw.
  

Strategy Tips

• Block Opponents: Pay attention to your opponents' moves and try to block their attempts to get five in a row.

• Plan Ahead: Think a few moves ahead to create opportunities for yourself while hindering your opponents.

• Tile Recycling: When tiles are running low, plan strategic moves of your tiles to new positions to either block or create new opportunities.
  

Variations

• Speed Play: Set a timer for each turn to increase the pace and difficulty.

• Team Play: For 4 players, you can form two teams, with teammates sitting opposite each other. The first team to get five in a row wins.
