Description
Crop Circle Champions is a puzzly tile laying game where players are competing in the Inter-Galactic Crop Circle Championship.
On their turn, players draft 2 tiles from the 3 available pairs, and add them to their crop circle making sure connections match up with each other (replenishing the market afterwards). Players score points by making crop circles based on a new set of patterns each game. When scoring, players place between 1-6 UFO tokens depending on the difficulty of the pattern.
After 10 turns the game ends and players gain/lose UFO tokens based on how many open connections they have and score bonus UFO tokens for each 4+ connection tile they scored.
Whoever has the most UFO tokens left wins!
