About the game
Majolica Painting is a "flip & draw" game in which players will use crayons of four different colors to fill in blank tiles to create their own Majolica masterpiece! Each player takes one game sheet for their own creation of a Majolica painting. Each round, one card is revealed from the deck, and each player may choose to draw the indicated colors on their sheet or pass. After all players have finished the drawing, another card is revealed for a new round. If the player's pattern matches the goal shown on the revealed card, they can immediately gain the bonus and mark them on their sheet. Try your best to connect the same colors together. The more tiles of the same color you can connect, the more points you receive! —description from the publisher
