In Mandala Stones, you are artists collecting stones rich in color and stacked on top of each other, which then allow you to achieve your best score.

To set up the game, randomly place the 96 stones (24 in each of the four colors and 48 in each of the two designs) on the main board, in piles of 4. Place the 4 Artist pillars in their starting position in the heart of the game. those piles of stones.

During your turn, you can either draw stones or “score” stones. To draw, move an artist to a new position, then collect stones adjacent to that artist with the same design as him, and which are not already adjacent to another artist. Choose one of these stones to be the base of your stack, then stack the other collected stones on that foundation clockwise, and place that stack on an empty space on your personal board.
