 .PP
+The player places pairs of coloured tiles on a 7x7 grid. Tiles are
+cleared by surrounding one colour group with another colour group,
+scoring points. The cleared tiles change the colour of the surrounding
+colour group, allowing for chain reactions that give more points. More
+colours are added as more tiles have been placed on the grid and
+eventually the game will end when the grid fills up.
 .PP
+The rush of a long chain reaction and the huge numbers of points
+that can be obtained from them is the counterpoint to playing it
+safe until the bitter grey (but slightly more colourful) end.

+There are many strategies to be explored within that continuum.
+Your smartphone with wireless internet access is a great place
+to review and explore the continuum as Primrose includes a
+networked high scores list with instant replay.
