There can never be the same card of the same colour placed on different turns, so you can only do these actions if you have one of the six colours that is current not in either the “filed” area or the “mountain” area. On your turn, you have a choice to place one card into a Mandala “mountain” that is being built or as many of the same colour into the “field”. If it is an even amount of cards in the “field” the player who completed the Mandala goes second. If it is an odd number in the “mountain” area, then the player with the most cards in the field goes first. Each player who has at least one card in the “field” area can then take a card in turn. Getting cards into your scoring area comes from completing a mandala, which happens every time the two areas that you communally make them have at least one card of each colour. A blue in the second spot, means all blues get you two points. If you put a red card in the first spot, this means all red cards you score will get you one point. Each player has six scoring areas that you can place a coloured car in, and a pile of cards that you can score from. But ultimately, when playing, all you are thinking is colours. Its pretty abstract, although they try to theme it around the Mandala patterns. Mandala - Best for puzzle fans who like zoning out!
