Good Fortune

Overview

Players collect matching charms to score points. Each tile has a value (shown as a die). Highest total score wins. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Components

• 21 numbered tiles (each shows 2 charms + 1 value)
• 1 Lucky Charm Medallion (random)
• 1 reminder tile (for tiles 1 and 21)

Setup

1. Randomly assign tile 1 to one player and tile 21 to another.
2. Each player draws 8 tiles face down.
3. Place 3 remaining tiles face up in the center → Central Line.
4. Players reveal and sort their tiles in ascending order → Luck Line.
5. Player with tile 1:
   • Takes the medallion
   • Starts with the small-icon side facing up

Turn Structure

1. Tile Selection

• Medallion holder chooses a tile from their Luck Line.
• Other player chooses a tile.

2. Determine Priority

Compare tile numbers:

• Small icon → lower number goes first
• Big icon → higher number goes first

3. Place Tile

Active player places tile at one end of Central Line:

• If matching a charm on that end:
  • Must connect matching charm
  • If two matches possible, choose

• If no match:
  • Place tile anyway

4. Resolve Opposite Tile

• If a match was made:
  • Take the tile at the opposite end
  • Add to collection (score its value)

• If no match:
  • Remove opposite tile from game (discard)

5. Second Player

• Other player repeats placement + resolution

6. End of Turn

• Flip medallion
• Pass it to the other player

End of Game

Triggered when all tiles are played.

Scoring

1. Group collected tiles by identical charm
2. Order groups:
   • Most tiles first
   • Tiebreaker: highest total value

1. Score each group:

• (Number of tiles) × (sum of values)

1. Total all group scores

Winning

Player with the highest total score wins.
