Press info:The rules are that one tile is placed on the board centre and one by the opponent in the centre. After that there are no restrictions. No piece may be moved after placing. There are four colours and two variety of shapes. The colours are red, white, blue and green. The shapes are full and empty squares. They are placed on the 36 tiles in a random fashon. Tiles are removed for winnings. There are two ways of winnig tiles. Firstly, a "streight line" must be formed on three adjecend tiles on which identical shape and colour idicia must point in the same direction. That is all tiles must have red full square pointing in the same direction .... say north. The other way is to form a "para." A para is a parallelogram where four identical shape and colour idicia must point in the same direction. EG. if four tiles in the four corners of the board have red full squares all pointing north it is called a para. In the case of a streight line the two tiles previously placed are removed as winnings, while in case of the para the three prevously placed tiles are removed as winings.
