Players have simple rules to follow. Each has 16 tiles arranged in a 2x4 grid, showing either red roofs or gray spaces. Players take turns placing tiles on a 17x17 board, starting with the center, and must connect their own colors to previously placed tiles. The goal is to create the largest connected area of roofs or spaces, with points awarded for each tile in that area. Each player can also use a veto once to block an opponent's tile. The game is quick, lasting about 20 to 30 minutes.
