Description

Cardinal Connections is a Icehouse game for 2-4 players played on a 8x8 square board. The initial setup has four upright large pieces stacked near the center of the play area,with four medium pieces lying flat,each pointing away from the center in the four orthogonally adjacent squares,and with four small pieces next to each of those.Set the remaining three pieces aside to form the pool. Each player takes one of the pieces from the pool and plays it onto the board orthogonally adjacent to an existing piece.After the piece is played,the player takes the following steps: 1.Remove one upright piece that is adjacent,orthogonally or diagonally,to the played piece and put it into the pool. 2.Change the orientation or direction of adjacent pieces. When no more pieces remain in the pool at the end of a player´s turn,the game is over.The player who has the greatest number of pieces pointing at him or her is the winner.
