Gameplay Mechanics
Basic Concept
Players are presented with several tubes or containers, some filled with colored segments or objects, while others remain empty. The goal is to sort all colors so that each tube contains only one color or remains empty.
Rules
1. Players can only move the topmost segment from one tube to another
2. Segments can only be placed on top of the same color or in an empty tube

4. The game is won when all colors are properly sorted
