In Sunset, players take turns to shape the sunset. Each turn, a player may choose to expand the sky by placing a colored card in a grid. Or, they can place a cloud on a sky card. They may also move the sun token (sideways or down). When the top row is completed, each player chooses a scoring card from their hand. On these cards are descriptions such as “grey clouds in the top row”, “pink cards in the sky” or “clouds on the top row”. The player with the highest scoring card places it in front of them. The top row is removed and the game continues until one player has collected three scoring cards.
