You choose a color from the palette, and your color spreads to neighboring tiles that match it. The goal of this coloring game is to cover the whole board in one color using as few moves as you can.

Every choice changes what your next move can do, so it pays to think a move or two ahead. A careless pick can cost you moves later.
