The game is based around placing symbol cards so that either their colour or shape
match their neighbours. The game area is restricted to an 8 by 8 card limit.
Symbotica can be played in four different ways: the Standard Game, the Simple Game,
Five Card Symbotica and the one player Symbotica Challenge.
The aim of the Standard, Simple and Five Card Symbotica games is to score the maximum
number of points. Points are scored based on the placing of the cards. In order to cater
for different age groups, the scoring is either based on addition or multiplication.
The one player Symbotica Challenge consists of trying to get as close as possible to
the full grid of 64 cards using the same placement rules as the other games but without
any scoring.
The game appeals to a wide range of ages from children learning simple pattern
matching, addition or multiplication right up to those adults who want to keep their mind
fit.
