Shifting Seasons is an abstract tile-shifting game in which players move season tiles and strategically place them on their player board.
Every person has one player board that is divided into 4 qudrants, that are numbered from 1-4.
On a turn, you take 1 of the 3 tiles from the display. You then push the choosen tile into the main sliding game board starting from 1 of the 4 arrows. This ejects a tile at the opposite side onto a number (1-4). Place this ejected tile in the matching quadrant on your player board.
With bonus markers you can move a tile on your player board or push two tiles into the sliding game board.
Keep taking turns until everyone has claimed 24 tiles, then count your points based on how well you matched the scoring cards. You gain points for matching tiles and gain bonus points if the tiles match your player board or are precious tiles.
