Description of play:
Players choose a mini playing board with 6 colored circles, each having either a single beginning consonant or a beginning consonant blend. On each turn, players take a draw card with a word ending and try to combine it with a beginning sound represented on their playing board. Only one circle can be covered per turn, and the winner is the first to cover all 6 circles on their board, "ruling the rainbow" for that game.
Also includes an extensive word list and play variations.
