Build chains of bacilli and collect the most through smart steals—be the first to reach 15 points! Mark the play area. Start with an 80x80 cm space (e.g., a table); this can be adjusted later depending on the group's temperament: the smaller the area, the more confrontation there will be during the game. Each player chooses one color and takes 16 matching cards, shuffles them, draws four, and places the rest face down next to them to form their draw pile. The youngest player (or the one closest to age 6) goes first. On their turn, players must play a card from their hand into the play area, and then draw one card from their draw pile—unless they have no more cards left to draw. —description from the designer
