## Description

WELCOME TO ISHIDO
An ancient puzzle that will test your meditative and strategic powers.  Balance the yin & yang of patience vs. the quick score.  Your goal is to empty the pouch, but plan ahead to find the elusive 4-way.
You must match 72 stones on a board of 96 squares.
You can play for points or relax and meditate over each move.

OVERVIEW
Ishido is a board game where you attempt to match stones according to their colors and patterns.

THE GAME BOARD
  *  The Game Board is eight squares high by 12 squares wide.  

  *  Stones come in sets of 72 stones.  Each stone has two attributes:
     A color and a symbol.  There are six symbols and six
     colors in each stoneset, thus creating 36 unique stones. 
     Each stone comes in a pair, hence 72 stones in each stoneset.  

  *  The Within consists of the interior squares.  

  *  The Beyond consists of the squares at the outer edges of the 
     board.  

  *  The Touchstone displays the next stone to be played.  

  *  The Scoreboard shows both the number of points scored, and the number
     of combination matches achieved.  

  *  The Pouch shows the number of stones remaining
     to play.
