How to play
MAKING BANDS
SETUP
Ahead of time, decide on a fixed selection of colors.
INSTRUCTIONS
The objective of the game is to make bands of colors to your heart's content.
No need to keep track of the size of any continguous block of one color -- the bands in this game are stretchy.
PLAY
Have fun!
VARIATIONS
If you stop keeping track of order, it's a game of just plain making sets (or "selections").
If you allow keeping track of multiple copies of a single color in a row, it's a game of making lists.

No concept of multiplicity |
There are more complicated games that also use the concept of bands (lists without multiplicity).
In this game, certain bands are made "equal" -- they can be swapped out for one another.
