Each player selects all the cards from a given suit, or all the cards from 2 suits for a 2-player game. Cards have a symbol in each corner, representing seasons and elements. Points are scored by placing cards with matching symbols beside cards currently in play. Cards also have numerical values that affect scoring and gameplay.
