HOW TO PLAY — FOUNTAINS (in 5 steps)

1) Move a marker on the central board

On your turn, you choose one of the tokens on the board and move it.1–3 spaces clockwise, skipping occupied spaces. Where you land determines what you can grab.

It's an elegant, wheel-like action selection system that sets the entire pace of the game.

2) Take a tile or a small decoration

If you land near a pile of tiles, take the top tile; if you land near the group ofmicro-feature(oval), choose a special decoration.

These elements become parts of yourpersonal fountain, a modular 3D puzzle that grows in height and width.

3) Build your fountain level by level

Each tile is added to your board by composing:

• 
  vertical levels,
  
• 
  lateral branches,
  
• 
  continuous water connectionsfrom the upper level to the lower level.
  
  The trick is to keep thespout protrusionat the highest point, ensuring that the water reacheseveryonethe levels. If you block the flow, you createdead zoneswhich will not give points.
  

4) Activate the three scoring categories during the game

Each time a player stops a marker on the corresponding color,everyonethey immediately mark:

• 
  Green – Water Lilies (Lilypads)
  
• 
  Blue – Connected Poolsfrom continuous water flow
  
• 
  White – Fish(Whoever activates decides which of the 3 fish colors counts)
  

The higher the level the symbol is on,the more points it is worth(1st level = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points, 3rd = 3 points…).

5) End of game and bonus scores

When a player passes a scoring threshold, another full scoring phase is triggered for all three categories.

Then you add thefinal bonuses:

• 
  +2 points for each coin icon
  
• 
  +4 points for a complete set of three different fish
  
  Whoever scores the most points becomes the bestFountaineer by Florimelle.
