The game ends when a player has 3 or fewer tokens remaining.  After reaching this condition, all players get one more turn including the person who reached the three or less tokens condition.

No, a player can only conduct one action during their turn. The actions are the following:

1. Draw 3 virtue cards from the face-up area or from the top of the deck (Remember diamond rule).

2. Play a set of virtue cards to claim a path between two virtues.

3. Draw 3 additional path cards. Player must keep at least one card.

1. Finish a connection for a path card you own. Unfinished connections will count against you at the end of the game.

2. Find the longest path you can complete with the remaining virtue cards in your hand.

3. If possible, connect the last path you can complete to your existing connections and a new virtue – this will help you achieve a point bonus for obtaining the most virtues.

4. Complete a path that will use all of your remaining tokens to receive a 5 point bonus for using all tokens by the end of the game.

No, extra Gems of Virtues cards do not penalize the player at the end of the game. After the player’s last turn, the extra gem cards should be placed in the discard pile for reshuffling.

No, a player must have all of the required virtue cards in their hands at the start of their turn in order to place their tokens on the game board.

No, a player only needs to place their tokens on the colored diamonds between the two virtues they are connecting.

There are multiple paths that can be utilized to complete the specific paths selected by the player. Evaluate your existing connections to get to the same end point. Be creative in your path building. It may help to look across the board for other paths that you may need, because it is not necessary to connect paths in order. Any path on the board can be completed if you have the required Gems of Virtues cards in your hand. The connection on the path cards only needs to be completed by the end of the game.

A player can always draw their 3 cards from the top of the deck. A player can draw any combination of 3 cards from the deck or face-up area during their turn. So long as the Diamond rule is followed.

If a player has more than 15 Gems of Virtues cards in their hand at the end of their turn, the player must discard the extra cards to the discard pile.

If the Gems of Virtues deck is depleted, the discarded cards are shuffled and returned to the deck. Ensure that the discarded pile is shuffled well since matching cards are turned in together.

Any combination of 3 identical virtue cards may be used to complete a 3-diamond gray path. (i.e. 3 Peridot, 2 Peridot + 1 Diamond/wild In addition,, gray paths are the only paths where 3 Diamond Virtue Cards may be played.

Yes, as long as the Diamond card is not face-up, a player can potentially draw 3 Diamond cards “blind.”

Yes, however, this strategy rarely (never) results in the player winning the game. A player is better served by focusing on their own path requirements. In this way, the game is a lot like life!

No, once 3 paths are taken into the virtue of Unity center, the player can't claim anymore paths into Unity.

Discard the 2 highest point-valued cards. The rules, state you must keep at least one Path card, you should keep the lowest value card. Since the path will not be completed, the smallest point value will be subtracted from your score.

Rule of thumb – If no player has passed 75 points, then use your next turn to draw 3 new path of virtues cards. Choose the best card(s) that work with your existing paths and finish those connections before the end of the game.
