In Reflection (also known as Imagination), things are straightforward: each round, a new card appears with a grid board and 13 slots. Your mission? Figure out which of the 13 slots is the ideal spot to insert a mirror. Why? Because this mirror will interact with the card and its reflection to earn you points! The card displays colored spheres (red, green, yellow, and blue), and each color has a different way of scoring. Green spheres are worth 1 point, yellow ones make you lose 1 point, and the difference between red and blue spheres also counts. The catch is that once you choose your slot, it's yours! No one else can take it, and you can't change your mind. As soon as everyone makes their choice, the mirrors are placed, and the player who chose the slot decides the direction. The game flies by, with each round offering a new chance to shine. The goal is simple: be the first to reach an agreed-upon point total. It's pure visual adrenaline and quick thinking, perfect for those who enjoy a challenge that doesn't drag. ## FAQ ### How many players can participate?
