The game is intentionally small. Most of the rules are enforced by the table rather than explained after a mistake.

Rules in 30 seconds

  • Start a meld with exactly 3 cards: same number, or consecutive numbers with the same shape.
  • Tap an open meld, then add 1 or 2 table cards that keep it valid.
  • You score 1 point for every card you contribute. Closing a 4-card set or 5-card run adds 1 bonus point.
  • Only 3 melds may remain open at once. If the board is awkward, Flow 3 replaces three cards and ends your turn.
  • When the stream empties, finish the current round so everyone gets the same number of turns.
