From BoardGameGeek
Quarks is a fast and fun tile placement game. Strategically match colors to score points, but watch out - the board is constantly shifting as tiles turn and connections change. On your turn, draw a tile - lime green, red, or blue - and place it on the board. Then rotate the board: Green – Go (clockwise) Red – Reverse (counter-clockwise) Blue – your choice After each rotation, score points by creating chains of matching colors connected to your tile. The board is always changing, so no two turns - or games - are ever the same. The player with the most points after all tiles have been placed, wins. -description from the publisher
