In the beggining of the game, the player's corners are marked by arrows. The human player, or player 1 is in the bottom left hand corner. The player 1's starting color is blue. The game automatically adds all of the adjacent tiles of the same color as the player's starting color to the player's tile collection. To add more tiles, the player has to change to the same color as the adjacent tiles. For instance, player 1 has the option of changing red to assimilate the red tiles touching their current collection. The tiles that you want to add to your collect need to be touching one of the tiles in your collection on the flat edge of teh tile, not just on a corner.

In the first move, the player has chosen red to add to their collection even though they could have picked yellow. In Singleplayer mode against the computer, the computer changes colors and instantly returns for the player 1 to take another turn. If a two player game was being played, then the Player 1 buttons would have been dimmed out and the player 2 buttons would have lit up indicating the colors player 2 could change to. In this case, the computer has chosen 'Aqua' or 'Light Blue' (in the upper right hand corner). Player 1 now has three colors touching their concured tiles: 'Aqua' , 'Yellow', and 'Lime'. However, because player 2 is 'Aqua', Player 1 cannot change to that color and the 'Aqua' button is dimmed out or greyed.

Our hero has chosen to play the 'Yellow' color to gain the yellow section at the bottom. Because the player as 'Yellow', the computer could not change to that color and instead picked a random color. In later games, the computer will not make such inferior choices.

Now that the computer is no longer, the 'Aqua' Color, player 1 can change to that color to gain ground. In turn, the computer changes to yellow now that the player 1 is not 'Yellow'.

When the game board no longer has unconcurred tiles, the game is over. The player with the most tiles at the end of teh game is the winner.
