In Lanterns, you have a hand of tiles with various arrangements of floating lanterns as well as cards of specifically coloured individual lanterns. When you play a floating lantern tile, every player gets an individual lantern card of the colour corresponding to the side of the tile facing them.
As you collect individual lantern cards, you can redeem them in sets (eg, 3 pairs, or one of each colour) to score points. You'll want to choose carefully to deny your opponents the cards that they need, as the points for each combination get lower as more are claimed.
Lanterns is a beautiful game for 2-4 players aged 8+, and will take around 30 mins for a game.
