Harmonies

• Place the center board in the middle of the table and put all the chips in the bag. Shuffle the animal cards and place 5 face up as a supply

• Each player takes their personal board and a help card

• Fill the center board with tokens from the bag until you have 5 groups of 3 tokens available.

• (Optional) With the Nature Spirits variant, each player chooses one of the two spirit cards they receive at random

• Each turn has three phases in order: taking tiles, placing them on the personal board and optionally taking an animal card or placing animal cubes.

• Choose 1 of the 5 groups of 3 tiles on the center board and take them all. The center board is replenished with tokens from the bag at the end of each turn.

• If you have less than 4 active animal cards, you can draw 1 card from the supply. Each card shows a pattern of tiles that you must play on your board. When you complete it, place 1 animal cube on the indicated tile. You can complete the same pattern multiple times. When all the cubes on a card are used up, the card is removed and frees up space.

• Each player chooses 1 of the 2 spirit cards they receive at random before their first turn. They work like animal cards but with more complex patterns and usually have an ongoing effect once completed.
