Fairy Lights
Push your luck with Fairy Lights to collect as many points as possible!
To play; shuffle the deck and place it face down. Cards in the deck show 1 or 2 bulbs in one of five colors; and each card is worth 0-2 points. At the start of your turn; see how many cards are in the shop; the central area of play:
If the shop has 5 cards; you can only take cards on your turn.
If the shop has 1-4 cards; you may draw from the deck.
If the shop has 0 cards; you must draw.
When you draw; place the revealed card at the end of the shop line. If it's the same color as the last card in the shop; your turn ends immediately. Otherwise; if the shop doesn't contain five cards; you can choose to draw again; or you can end your turn and take cards. If five cards are now in the shop; you must take cards.
When you take cards; if 1-4 cards are in the shop; take all cards of a single color from the shop and add them to your collection; if five cards are in the shop; take all cards of two colors from the shop instead. If the number of bulbs in a color in your collection is now a multiple of three (3; 6; 9; 12); score those cards; placing them face down in a corner of your playing area. If you have 1-2 bulbs of a color; leave those cards where they are. If you have four or more bulbs of a color and didn't score them; discard all bulbs of that color. The next player then takes their turn.
When the final card is revealed from the deck; the active player finishes their turn; then the game ends. Add the points on your scored cards; then subtract the points showing on all cards that remain in your playing area. Whoever ends up with the most points wins!
