Framework
Framework consists of 60 “simple” and 60 “complex” tiles, with each players starting with 22 tokens. On a turn, the lead player draws and reveals a balanced assortment of simple and complex tiles, with one more tile than the number of players. Each player in turn selects a tile, with the lead player being forced to take the final tile.
Â
When you take a tile, place it adjacent to at least one other tile in your display, then see whether you complete any tasks on your tiles; each time you do, cover that task with a token. Tiles contain 0-3 frames and 0-3 tasks, with each of these coming in four colors. A task might be, for example, a green 3, and to complete the task, the tile bearing this task must be part of a set of three tiles that have green frames, whether directly or via an orthogonal chain of connection with tiles that have green frames.
Â
Tasks might be two colors, e.g., red and brown, which means that both frame colors can be used to satisfy the task. Alternatively, a task might be 4 yellow or 4 brown. Also, conditional tasks exist in which you must first complete one task before you can complete the second one.
Â
Whoever first places all of their tokens wins. Framework also includes a solo game in which you attempt to place all of your tokens in an area of tiles that is as close to a 5×5 grid as possible.
