Polders: Flip & Write is played over five five-turn rounds. The 2-4 players each take a coloured marker pen which they use to block off squares matching the shape shown on the polder cards. Each turn, three polder cards are drawn (from the 17 card deck) and players simultaneously add to their board the shape from one of those cards but filled with a choice of single symbol that will score end game for adjacency to a manor, mill or farm. Assignment cards are displayed each round and these add key scoring bonuses that will drive players' choices through the game.
Players each have a different colour pen not for reasons of mere aesthetics. Unusual in a roll & write style game, players don't each have their own boards: they use a board for the round but then pass it to the player on their left. That adds a powerful interactive element as you are not only optimising your own score but having an eye as to your opponents' scores and what assignment bonuses they may be going for, and maybe scuppering them. That's especially the case in a two or three-player game where players expect to get each of the boards back at least once and so may be attempting assignments over multiple rounds.
Scoring for all of the boards and assignments is only done at the end of the game so canny players will try to keep tabs on when they have each board for the last time: you will want to take full advantage of being the last player to have a board - though you will find that the board that reaches you on the final round will already be quite full...
