OVERVIEW
Ishido is a board game where you attempt to match stones according to their colors and patterns.
THE GAME BOARD
* The Game Board is eight squares high by 12 squares wide.
* Stones come in sets of 72 stones. Each stone has two attributes:
A color and a symbol. There are six symbols and six
colors in each stoneset, thus creating 36 unique stones.
Each stone comes in a pair, hence 72 stones in each stoneset.
* The Within consists of the interior squares.
* The Beyond consists of the squares at the outer edges of the
board.
* The Touchstone displays the next stone to be played.
* The Scoreboard shows both the number of points scored, and the number
of combination matches achieved.
* The Pouch shows the number of stones remaining
to play.
