Game Flow
The game consists of 21 rounds. In each round, starting from the first player, each player takes a turn. Each turn consists of 4 steps: Scout, Take Photo, Earn Pawints and Mission Update. After 21 rounds, the player with the highest Pawints wins the game.

SCOUT
Players may either take the top tile from one of the three supply piles or draw one tile from the blind draw bag. After this action, if the number of supply piles drops below three, draw tiles from the bag to replenish them to three piles.

1 Take 1 landscape tile
2 During replenishment, if identical landscape tiles are drawn, they are placed in the same stack.
3 Until three distinct types of landscape tiles are replenished to form three separate stacks.

If there remain three supply piles after a player takes a landscape tile, don' t draw a new one.

TAKE PHOTOS
Place landscape tile in your personal
playing area. Except for the first tile, each
subsequent tile must be placed adjacent
to existing tiles.

Landscape Tile Placement
1 Landscape tiles are placed in
your personal playing area. The
first tile may be placed freely.
2 It must be adjacent to other
landscape tiles, meaning at least
one edge must be touching
another tile.
3 As shown in the diagram, green
areas indicate valid placement
zones, while gray areas represent
invalid placement zones.

pawints, earn pawints based on its pawint value

X3

No pawints are earned for adjacent tiles that:
1. A different landscape type, OR
2. A higher pawint value than the placed tile.

• The completed shape must include the newly placed tile.
• The shape is valid even if it is a rotated or flipped version of the required pattern.

corresponding pattern by placing them.

May be rotated

May be flipped

placing the tile:
• Earn 2 pawints from the tile's
own;
• Earn 1 pawint from one adjacent
tile with the same landscape
type and fewer pawints;
• Earn 5 pawints for completing
the shape of one photo mission.

The Last Player
The mission update
steps are performed
only by the last
player, and the
starting player
remains the same
for all rounds of the
game.

* MISSION UPDATE

Select a card to move. If a card is half-covered by a
card on its top, move that card. Otherwise, move the
top card from the leftmost stack of cards.
Move the card to the right. If there is a card to its
right, then cover its pattern but leave the Pawints
shown. Otherwise, place the card in the empty space
to form a new stack.

---

After the Mission Update, some photo mission cards may become covered. A covered card will
not grant Pawints for completing its pattern. Instead, the card covering it will grant bonus
Pawints equal to the card covered.
