1. Each player selects his color of beads and place a unique pentamino figure on the MB.

2. To start the game, each player rolls a pair of dice. The player with the highest rolled number begins.

3. The pentamino figures can be seen in the picture.

1. For 2 players, the game is usually played with 3 boards. One board is the "Master board" (MB).

2. The master board already has prepared pentamino figures placed on it.

3. The second board is the "Score board" (SB) and the third board is the actual play board (PB).

4. If there are more than 3 players, it is suggested that you use 2 PB boards.

5. Players moves are coordinated by a pair of throwing dice.

6. If a player gets to equal numbers from a dice roll, he gains an extra move.

7. You can place a bead upside down and the turn will not be counted. Only when the bead is place correctly, the player has completed the move.

1. The goal is to score points by creating and harvesting pentamino figures. Players can employ different strategies to succeed.

2. Each round is played until one player wins by earning 6 points.

3. However, the game can also carry on until one player is left.

1. Players can both help and prevent other from winning, so it is important that there is open communication to protect your interests.

2. When the dice are rolled, the numbers are perceived as X and Y coordinates (e.g 1:6 or 2:3, etc. - according to the coordinate board.)

3. The player can choose how to apply the coordinates along the axis as he chooses, as long as both numbers are applied at different axis.

4. Players take turns in a clockwise direction and they place their beads on the PB according to the rolled dice coordinates.

5. As soon as a matching pentamino figure ( from the MB) is created, the player takes the score-earning beads off the PB and gets one point.
