Two rivals shape and then destroy sand mandalas, collecting colors to build a river whose order determines how many points their hidden cup will be worth.

Gameplay

Play colored cards into shared mandalas and your side’s field, then claim whole colors when a mandala completes to place one card into your river and the rest into your cup for end-game scoring. The squeeze is timing—commit too early and you hand over valuable colors; wait too long and you may lose control of the take.
