Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Blind card play with face-down reveal — Players simultaneously select a card from their hand and place it face-down; cards are revealed and ordered by number to resolve scoring.
- Compact, quickly-playing box mechanics — Designed as a quick, 20-minute game with a small footprint that still offers deep strategic decisions via Delta scoring.
- Compound Scoring — Each round is scored by comparing cards across two columns (Sun side then Moon side), with scores determined by the difference and suits.
- Delta scoring and bonus tokens — Scores are based on the delta between two cards; bonus tokens can be flipped to modify scoring and provide bonuses.
- End conditions and tie-breaks — Game ends when a column is fully flipped; ties are resolved by predefined tie-break rules.
- End Game Bonuses — Plus-one and other bonus tokens influence final points and can be earned by flipping cards or meeting conditions.
- Hand Management — If you cannot score, you may take cards from the table or take a special card to adjust your hand for future rounds.
- Post-round card management — If you cannot score, you may take cards from the table or take a special card to adjust your hand for future rounds.
- Professor card option — A professor action lets you play a different card or reveal other players’ plays before you choose, adding information-based strategy.
- Simultaneous Reveal — Players simultaneously select a card from their hand and place it face-down; cards are revealed and ordered by number to resolve scoring.
- Sun side / Moon side progression — Play proceeds on one side then the other, progressing down a column and changing scoring options each round.
- Token-based bonuses and flip mechanics — Plus-one and other bonus tokens influence final points and can be earned by flipping cards or meeting conditions.
- Two-sided scoring (Sun/Moon) with column-based goals — Each round is scored by comparing cards across two columns (Sun side then Moon side), with scores determined by the difference and suits.
