Description

198 optical illusions are at the heart of this game. Players move on a modular board comprised of 9 sections, 6 hexagons and 3 obtuse "L"s, to capture the prize pieces on each section. The cards, board sections and prize pieces are suppurated into three categories; Reflected Images, Mixed Images and, Impossible Figures.

The active player roles the die and moves; if he/she lands on an Illusion space, they draw an illusion card and pick whether they see "A" or "B"; the cards have illusions on them that can be seen in two ways, e.g. do you see A: the two faces looking at each other or B: the goblet. The player indicates which they saw, using a hidden disc marked A and B, then the player next to him/her announces which way they believe the active play saw the image, the active player then reveals the disc. Each card has instructions on the back, one for both A and B, that will help or hurt a player. If the announcing player was correct, they choose who must follow the instruction otherwise the active player chooses.

Prize pieces must be landed on exactly and, once a player wins a prize piece they may move the part of the board it was on. This can be used to break the board into separate sections, stranding opponents. The rules vary based on the number of players playing but, collecting a requisite number and type of prize pieces wins the game.
