{"product_id":"line-or-colour","title":"Line or Colour","description":"\u003cp\u003eLine or Colour is a combinatorial game for two players. Originally named Tangion (a contraction for Tangent+Tension), the game involves two perpendicular winning conditions that can tie players´ brains in knots. It was derived from Domina 4 by adding a n-in-a-row victory condition and removing piece movement.\n\nThe name was later changed to the more friendly Line or Colour.\n\nMATERIAL\n\n49 rounded counters in 7 colours (7 each)\n25 white rings\n25 black rings\nThe official edition includes a board for faster setup.\n\nRULES\n\nThere are 2 types of gameplay: basic and advanced.\n\nBasic version:\n\nArrange 25 counters in 5 colours (5 each) in a square according to the figure:\n\n12345\n45123\n23451\n51234\n34512\n\nPlayer 'White' (Starting player) takes all the white rings. Player 'Black' takes all the black rings.\n\nStarting with 'White' players alternate turns 'claiming' a counter by placing a ring of their colour on it. The pie rule is enabled.\n\nThe game ends when a player either forms a row of at least 4 consecutive rings of his colour (orthogonal or diagonal) or has claimed 4 counters of the same colour. That player wins the game.\n\nAdvanced version:\n\nArrange 49 counters in 7 colours (7 each) according to the figure:\n\n1234567\n6712345\n4567123\n2345671\n7123456\n5671234\n3456712\n\nSame rules apply, but a player wins by making a line of 5 or claiming 5 counters of the same colour. The pie rule doesn't seem to be necessary in this version.\n\nVariant for both versions: Arrange the counters randomly.\n\nAKNOWLEDGEMENTS\n\nSpecial thanks to Stephen Tavener for playtesting and Cameron Browne for playtesting and game name brainstorming, that unlocked its publication almost a year after its inception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.50 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Néstor Romeral Andrés\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"nestorgames","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51925160886488,"sku":"SB-34BF85F4F41D-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/5rwcbcwjw32egdjw24isz7mdtm51.jpg?v=1785458565","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/line-or-colour","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
