From website; "There's more than one way to the top... Each player's turn starts with nine cards face up on the board. The object is to move as many cards as possible to the top row, where they're worth points. Players move cards by placing them on top of other cards with which they share at least two characteristics - color, creature, or quantity. Each turn consists of a quick series of moves by the same player, and the order in which you make those moves can determine whether you win or lose!"
