This is tile pickup game. A 7x7 grid is filled with 40 tiles (10 amphora pictures made up of 4 tiles each), with the 9 tic tac toe spaces containing hostage tiles to complete the grid. You can move 2 or 3 spaces containing one right hand turn, and you can pick up the last tile you move off.The object of the game is to pick up complete sets of amphoras.A player can only keep two tiles in his/her hand Any tile placed in front of you that is less than a set of 3 in an amphora can be picked up by anyone who lands on a hostage tile.So the trick is to get three tiles all in one amphora in successive turns, and lay them down immediately. These are now worth 1 point and are safe from being stolen.A completed amphora of 4 tiles is worth 4 points. - BoardGameGeek
