These intersections are referred to as points on the board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1 id=\"tiles\">Tiles<\/h1>\n<p>Each player has his or her own full set of tiles. Let\u2019s look at what these tiles are and how many of each are in a set.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main types of tiles: Basic Flower Tiles and Special Tiles. We\u2019ll talk about the details on how these tiles move and any special effects they have later.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"basicflowertiles\">Basic Flower Tiles<\/h2>\n<p>Basic tiles are split into Red Flower

The remaining Accent Tiles are set aside and not used during the game. Alternately, the Host may choose to allow only one of each Accent Tile to be given to each player if he wishes.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the Guest places a Basic Flower Tile in the Gate nearest to them. The Host places one of the same kind of tile in the opposite Gate (<em>Gates<\/em>\u00a0are explained later).<\/p>\n<p>Then, the Guest has the first move.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: For a quicker game, have the Host start with a Clashing tile instead of the same tile as the Guest.<\/em><\/p>\n<h1 id=\"playingaturn\">Playing A Turn<\/h1>\n<p>On your turn, you choose to either Arrange or Plant.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"arranging-movingtiles\">Arranging &#8211; Moving Tiles<\/h2>\n<p>If you choose to Arrange on your turn, move one of your Flower Tiles that is on the board and perform a Harmony Bonus action if applicable (tile movement and Harmony Bonus will be explained later).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"planting-placingtiles\">Planting &#8211; Placing Tiles<\/h2>\n<p>If you choose to Plant, place a Basic Flower Tile in an open Gate.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: You may not make a move that leaves your opponent with no possible moves to make on their turn.

A tile may form Harmonies with the tiles next to it in the circle (for example, White 5 is Harmonious with White 4 and Red 3).

The small red areas on the four sides of the board are the Gates. All other areas of the board are either a Neutral Garden, Red Garden, or White Garden.<\/p>\n<p>On certain points of the board, a tile may be in multiple areas of the board at once. A tile is in any area the tile touches on the board while it is on a point.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"gates\">Gates<\/h2>\n<p>Gates are the points within the red areas on each of the four sides of the board.

The player who achieves the Harmony Ring is the winner. If both players have Harmony Rings, it is a tie.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nomorebasicflowertiles\">No More Basic Flower Tiles<\/h2>\n<p>The game ends when a player plays his or her last Basic Flower Tile. When this happens, the player with the most midline-crossing Harmonies on the board when the game ends wins (the tiles in midline-crossing Harmonies are in adjacent quadrants of the board and not on either midline). If players have the same amount of midline-crossing Harmonies, it is a tie.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"forfeit\">Forfeit<\/h2>\n<p>The game can end when a player forfeits, but that just isn\u2019t as fun.
