Mozaic – the object is to accumulate points by placing own-color gems on four adjacent tiles to form squares.

• Four same-color gems on four tiles forming a square scores 4 points.
  
  
• Players choose sides – North or South.
  
  
• The first to draw amber starts - players then take turns moving the amber or cobalt gem, drawn at random, onto the board.
  
  
• Exceptions …
  
  Emerald : move any gem on the board diagonally to an empty adjacent tile.
  Ruby : click on it to continue and miss this turn.
  Diamond : click on any gem to remove it from the board and return it to the bag.
  Onyx : click on it to continue and play 2 gems, one at a time … but miss the second turn if the first gem drawn is the ruby.
  
  
• The game is over when all the tiles are covered and the player with the most points wins.
  
  
• In a rare but possible situation of a diamond or emerald being drawn with no gems on the board, click on the exception gem to continue the game.
