How to Play:
Draw 10 tiles and set them up in the starting pattern (see printed instructions). Each player puts their four colored jewels on the four spaces of their Home Tile. Each player makes a combination of these three moves per turn:
1. A Jewel Step - moving a jewel one space onto a vacant space. A jewel may also be jumped over another jewel (similar to checkers).
2. A Tile Turn - turning a tile a quarter turn. It can be empty or have a jewel on it.
3. A Tile Shift - moving a tile into an adjacent vacant space.
How to Win:
The first player to move all four of their jewels onto the opposite Home Tile wins the game!

Despite the fairly simple rules, this game involves an interesting and addictive strategy. Every time you play Mine Shift, you'll have an exciting new maze to navigate.
