A later more compact version for up to four players uses 36 tiles. It is this version that is described here. The game uses colourful double-sided triangular playing tiles called trangs. The trangs use all the permutations of red, yellow, green, cyan and magenta to give 35 unique trangs, plus one all-white 'joker'. Each trang is marked with a number that is the basic scoring value of that tile. The trangs are played onto a triangular game board; some of the spaces are marked with a number that is the bonus value of the space (unmarked spaces having a bonus value of 1). The aim of the multi-player game is to score the most points by playing your trangs most effectively. All the trangs are placed the provided cloth bag, each player draws a trang from the bag. The player drawing the highest valued trang becomes the opening player. The trangs are returned to the bag and each
