[edit] Rules and Gameplay
Each player is dealt a hand of three cards, plus one of five Goal cards, depicting one of the five elements involved. Then one card is placed face up on the table to start the layout. The objective is to connect seven cards with your goal element.
On your turn, you draw a card, then play a card next to one of the other cards in the layout. You can only play a card if it one or more elements on the new card touches the matching element on adjacent cards. Other cards in the deck allow you to swap Goals, or alter the layout in some way.
[edit] Expansions
Looney Labs has produced only one promo card for Aquarius, the wild card. It behaves like a single panel card of all five elements at once. The wild card can be found in the Nanoblanks expansion for Nanofictionary.
