FINE SAND

The deck deconstruction game for 1-4 players, from Friedemann Friese, for ages 10 and above

Aim of the game

You are at the beach during your vacation. Everything is peaceful and in harmony. Out of a pure love of life, you start to build a sand castle.
Wait...What are your neighbors doing? Everywhere, sand castles rise up. But it was you, who wanted to build the best, highest, biggest
sand castle. Suddenly, everybody is in the middle of a competition.
Everybody builds by themself with the materials on hand. Who will deplete all their materials and win the sand castle competition? Every
player for themself, and all against each other, that‘s what‘s going on here. Frequently, you can “off-load” your neighbors some unwelcome
materials, but ultimately you are your own builders and only the player who uses their options best wins!

Before the first game

Open both card packs. PLEASE DO NOT SHUFFLE THESE CARDS! All cards are presorted,
thus you give them to the players as follows:
The first card pack includes 4 stacks, one stack per player, and each containing 30 cards.
Separate the stacks by checking for the player symbols , , , on the bottom left
of the front side of the cards. Each player takes a stack of starting cards and places it, The first card pack contains the four starting

How to play
After everyone has prepared their building sites, start the game.
The unique part of this game: You do not take turns one after the other. Instead, you take your turns simultaneously. DON’T PANIC, Fine Sand is
not a real-time game. It is not about speed. Take as much time for your turn as you require, except your fellow players might start throwing paper balls
or similar stuff if you take too long.

Thus, the other players see,

You can use your yellow action card in

each turn once out of sequence. You
do this after Step 1. Draw cards and
before Step 3. Check hand limit.

Start together: On a common signal, all of you start the turn. Place your wooden disc from your draw stack in the center of the table. As long as your
wooden disc remains in the center of the table, everybody can see that you are still taking your turn (“I am not done!”).
Now you perform the following three steps and make your own decisions. Of course, your opponents have their own plans and most likely make different
decisions.

STEP 1. Draw cards + : Draw 2 cards from your draw stack, as printed on your board, PLUS Example: Rachel

STEP 2. Perform actions: Decide if you EITHER perform the red actions OR the blue actions. Mark
your choice by sliding your wooden ring to the left or to the right (we know from experience, that without the use of the ring you might
quickly forget your choice and accidentally perform both actions).
2A. Red actions - Build one card from your hand +1 : Build one of the
cards in your hand, as printed on your board, and place it at the matching place on your
board. Place green cards in the first column, red cards in the second column, and so on.
Place sand castles above the board, as these cards do not offer any actions.
The cards have different building costs, as printed on the top of the cards. Pay these
building costs with the remaining cards in your hand. Each card has a value of 1 coin,
the special coin cards have a value of 2 coins or 3 coins, depending on the value printed
on them. Discard all cards, which you use for paying the building costs, face up onto
the discard pile.
You can only use newly built purple or yellow cards in the same turn. You can use
newly built green, red, or blue cards only starting with the following turn.
If you already built additional red cards, you can build 1 additional card from your hand Example: Rachel decides to build the blue card and places it in the

Hint: During the first turn, you have 6 cards in your hand. It is highly recommended to
build as least one of them, to most optimally begin the game. Wait for a later turn to use
the blue actions to “draw additional cards”.

OUT OF SEQUENCE (OPTIONAL)

Yellow actions: You can use yellow actions in each turn once out of sequence. Usually,
you do this after drawing cards and before checking your hand limit. After you use a
yellow action, it is recommended you turn that card face down until the end of your
turn as a reminder.
“Off-loads” for your neighbor: In each game you always have the same yellow Example: Rachel gives
action card at hand. When using that action, you give one of the cards in your hand to the green card from her
your left neighbor. Place that card face down on your Symbol card, which you placed to hand to her left neighbor,
the left between your and your neighbor’s building sites. and places it face down on
her Symbol card.
Hint: Giving a card to your neighbor is good, as you get rid of a card without needing
to build it. Honestly, it is even better than most beginners think it is. Of course, you can
use each card you keep as a coin during the next turn (if its action is not matching your
plans or its building costs are too high). That is the reason why in the beginning you
will shy away from giving away cards, except the times when you exceed your hand
limit and are forced to discard cards. You will learn this.

STEP 3. Check hand limit : At the end of your turn, you check your hand
limit. You can keep as many cards in your hand as stated by this limit. Thus, you can
keep a maximum of 3 cards in your hand, as printed on your board, PLUS additional
cards for already built purple cards. If you exceed that hand limit, choose surplus
cards in your hand and discard them face up on your discard pile.

End of the turn and “off-loads”: After checking your hand limit, take your
wooden disc from the center of the table and place it back on top of your draw
stack. This will provide a signal to other players that you have finished your turn. Example: Rachel can keep 4 cards in her hand. As she has 5 cards in her
After everybody has taken their wooden discs from the center, together you check hand, she decides to discard the purple card.
if you all received “off-loads”.
If there is at least one face down card each on ALL Symbol cards,
you all take the topmost card from the right Symbol card and
discard it face up on your own discard pile. Of course, this is
worse, as you try to get rid of all the cards.
If at least one Symbol card is empty, nobody takes a card. All
cards on the other Symbol cards remain where they are! Some
of you got rid of a card, without directly getting back “off-loads”.

EMPTY DRAW STACK

Each time you draw the last card of your draw stack, immediately
shuffle all cards from your discard pile and place them back face
down to the left of your board as your new draw stack.

Example: At the end of the turn, there is one card each on both Symbol cards. Thus, both
Rachel and Paul must place this card face up onto their discard piles.
 You lost track? Do not worry!
When you take your turns simultaneously, during your first games you definitely will not keep track of the actions of your fellow players. As long
as you are learning how to play this game, start your turns together by placing your wooden discs from your draw stacks to the center of the table.
Afterwards, you should take your turns one player after the other, so you can check the actions of the others. After everybody has taken their turn
once, you check for “off-loads” and together start the next turn. It would be bad if one of you misunderstands the rules and makes mistakes from
turn to turn without realizing this. And it does not matter, if it would be to their advantage or disadvantage.
As soon as you feel confident that you understand the basically simple flow of the game, at any time during the game you can commonly decide to
take your turns simultaneously. Then, the slightly faster players simply wait for the others at the end of their personal turns.

Game End
You trigger the game end when you draw ALL your remaining cards at the start
of your turn, and both the draw stack and the discard pile are depleted. If you
are allowed to draw more cards, take 1 wooden coin for each missing card from
the center of the table. The game ends after you all finish your turn.
If you trigger the game end voluntarily, by passing on building and instead
drawing additional cards, all players should complete their current turn and
play one more turn before the game ends.
Each time you are allowed to draw more cards and none are available in your
draw stack and discard pile, again you take wooden coins. The number of
wooden coins in the center of the table are not limited. If you need more than
supplied in this game, please substitute with any spare parts or coins you may Example: Rachel can draw 6 cards. There are only 4 cards left in her draw
have on hand. stack, so she additionally takes 2 wooden coins. At the end of this turn the
game ends, too.
You can use these wooden coins to pay the building costs.

Final scoring
After finishing the last turn, each of you checks how many cards you did not build: Count all cards in your hand, and all cards in your draw stack and
discard pile. If there are still “off-loaded” cards on your Symbol cards, they remain there and you do NOT count them!
The player with the least number of unbuilt cards wins Fine Sand! In case of a tie, the tied player with most coins wins the game.

Changes for the Game preparation of all following games

After determining the winner, sort all cards according to their player symbols, and all of you take back your 30 cards. Instead of playing with presorted
draw stacks, shuffle all your 30 cards before placing them face down as your new draw stack to the left of your board.
At the start of the game, draw 6 cards and take them into your hand (do not draw additional cards during your first turn). Because of the shuffled draw
stack, things can be bad for you. Thus, before the game begins you can discard any number of the 6 starting cards (even 0 or all 6) and draw the same
number of cards from your draw stack. You start your discard pile with these discarded cards.
If you want to play additional games with the presorted cards, you need to sort the 30 cards as follows.

With these cards you can simply play again and again. This is the basic version of Fine Sand.
The Fable campaign
Fine Sand offers you a starting stack of cards, which you can use for the first few games. Additionally, you all have your own Fable stack of 27 additional
cards, which you can use to start the Fable Campaign.

Preparation of the stack of cards

Place your Fable stack face down next to your play area, WITHOUT SHUFFLING THESE CARDS.
Sort all cards according to their player symbols, and take back your 30 cards. The winner of the currently
finished game shuffles their 30 cards and reveals cards, until they reveal 3 cards showing numbers at the
bottom right. The cards showing warning signs always remain in your card stacks. Your starting card stack
only includes cards with the warning sign or the number “0”, in following games you add cards with the
numbers “1” to “9”.
Example: Always keep the cards with the

Building this card costs 3 coins.
This way, you can continue to play any number of games while always
changing your stack of cards differently before each new game.

Your game experience will always be different.

The Solo Campaign

When playing the solo campaign, follow the known game rules while including the following changes.
The solo campaign runs for a maximum of ten games, and in each game you try to build as many cards as possible. You lose the campaign if you cannot
strike off a scoring number at the end of one of the ten games. If you finish all ten games, try to get a new highscore.

Game preparation
You start the first game with the 30 cards of the starting card deck, thus with all cards
showing either the warning sign or the number “0” at the bottom right of all cards.
Shuffle the stack of cards before starting the game. Place the sorted Fable stack to the
side, you only need it after finishing the first game.
Place 13 wooden coins onto your Symbol card, which is usually between you and your
left neighbor’s building site.
Additionally, you need a scoring sheet. You will find 4 scoring sheets on the back of this
rules booklet, and a PDF on our website www.StrongholdGames.com.

How to play
During the solo campaign, you use the yellow action “Off-load” for your neighbor Example: Rachel places 13 wooden coins on her Symbol card.
differently as in the normal game.
As long as there are wooden coins on your Symbol card, you ignore this action, and do not place any cards from your hand on your Symbol card.
Instead, after checking your hand limit at the end of the turn, you remove 1 wooden coin from the Symbol card and place it back in the center of the
table.
 At the start of the 14th turn, you have removed all wooden coins, and the Symbol card is empty. Now, during each turn you MUST give 1 card from your
hand, and place it on your Symbol card. You cannot refrain from this!

Game end
You trigger the game end as usual, when you draw ALL remaining cards, and both your draw stack and discard pile are depleted. As usual, for each
missing card you also take 1 wooden coin from the center of the table.

Final scoring
Count all your unbuilt cards. Take the scoring sheet and write down the following values in the two spaces:
STACK: All cards in your hand, and all cards in the draw stack and discard pile count 1 point.
OFF-LOADS: All cards “off-loaded” to your Symbol card count 2 points.
Add both values for your TOTAL. Of course, you try to score the lowest total as possible, and strike that number off on the scoring sheet.
During the whole solo campaign, you can strike off each of the numbers 1 to 20 once. If you already marked off a number in an earlier game, you now
must strike off the next higher, still available number.
If you must strike off a number higher than 20, you lose the game and start a new campaign.
At the end of a game, if you have remaining wooden coins, strike off 1 space per coin in the area marked WOODEN COINS. Start in the top most row
from left to right. If you fill a set of five spaces, once during the final scoring of a game you can subtract a certain value from your total, before striking
off that total on your scoring sheet.

At the end of each game, you add new Fable cards to your stack of cards.
Shuffle your stack of cards and reveal 6 cards with numbers in the bottom right (no warning sign!). Choose 3 of these cards, and place them back into the
game box. Draw the topmost 3 cards of the Fable stack and shuffle them together with the 27 cards of your stack of cards.
Again, place 13 coins onto your Symbol card, before starting the next game of the solo campaign.

The end of the solo campaign

You lose the solo campaign if you must strike off a number above 20.
You win the solo campaign after the 10th game. If you strike off numbers between 1 and 10, you get the victory points written next to these numbers
(1 victory point for the “10”, and up to 10 victory points for the “1”).
In each new solo campaign, try to beat your own highscore!
