Gameplay Overview: Sand Art has you gathering and mixing sand, which is used to fill your bottle."

"Each round, you will move your hand marker along the row of action cards and then take one of the listed actions. The movement has you go in the direction your marker's thumb is pointing, which gets flipped after the move. Most cards have an upper and lower action to choose from. One restriction is that you can't place your marker on an occupied action space."

"The actions are as follows: * Gain sand of one or more colors. Each unit is marked off on your supply shelf. * Mix sand of two colors, crossing out the colors used and adding to the color made on your supply shelf * Pour sand into your bottle, marking off one unit for each dot area you fill * Shake it up spreads sand in your bottle, filling up to two additional dots of an adjacent color."

Sand Art is a 25th Century Games title for two to four players, ages ten and up, with about a one-hour playtime. Players collect colored sand, mix colors, and pour layers into a bottle to create sand-art patterns. A central row of action cards determines available actions; players move a hand marker along the row in the marker's thumb direction and then take the chosen action, with the thumb flipping after movement. Actions include gaining sand, mixing two colors, pouring sand into bottle dots, shaking to spread sand, and claiming end-layer cards that score for completed patterns. Pouring follows gravity rules and filling bottles unlocks special abilities.
