Sundial Set-Up

Each player takes a sundial and places it in front of them. The sundial is considered a feature and will be the starting tile for your pond. After setting up the base game a normal [sic: the printed text reads "a normal", apparently for "as normal"], shuffle the sundial bonus cards then place them in a face-down deck near the central pond. Deal 1 card face up next to the sundial deck for each of the 4 directions (North, East, South, West).

Sundial Gameplay

The game is played the same way as the base game of Kohaku. However, the sundial cards provide additional ways to earn points at the end of the game. Each player earns bonus points by correctly positioning koi and/or features in their pond relative to their sundial.

At the end of the game, each player will score bonus points for each of the four directions which will be added to their base score. The edge of the sundial extends as far as your pond in all 4 directions. For example, a tile can be both NORTH and WEST of your sundial at the same time.

Scoring Example

The sundial deck from the set-up example awards 2 points for every coin featured on a koi tile to the NORTH of your sundial and every koi tile with fish containing red to the WEST.
