## Description
Get ready to spin and score in Rondo, an abstract game that will test your planning and foresight! Here, the goal is simple: accumulate as many points as possible by placing your colored tokens on a super stylish board, featuring two concentric rings and spokes connecting everything to the center. Oh, and the board is double-sided, so you can switch things up! You start with two tokens hidden in a bag and on your rack, keeping opponents in the dark about your colors. On each turn, the move is yours: you can go all out and place as many tokens as you want in a continuous sequence, as long as they match the colors of the spaces on the board, and you score points immediately. Then, just draw a new token. Alternatively, you can choose to draw two tokens and place none, if strategy dictates. But be careful, your rack only holds five tokens! If you wish, you can even place a token face down on a differently colored space to reach another position, but without scoring for it. If you want to dare, you can place multiple tokens of the same color on a matching space and add up all the points. The game ends when all the dark grey spaces are filled or when someone cannot draw enough tokens to play. Whoever has the most points wins! Rondo is fast, strategic, and perfect for those who enjoy a visual and tactical challenge.
