Gather 4 cards representing one of the celestial spirits to secure energy points. You will be able to obtain these cards through 4 possible mechanisms : push your luck when drawing for cards use tokens in exchange for cards steal cards from other players, using back side of your cards special effects in advanced mode with your tokens The game ends when a player has completed 3 spirit patterns (4 cards each).
