Flip the months one at a time and complete a season's three months to score — but the hidden Noon card is somewhere in the grid. Reveal it first for 5, leave it for last for 4, or get caught in between.
Setup mirrors the box: twelve month cards with one secretly swapped for Noon, laid in a 3×4 grid. That means one season is always missing a month — it can never be completed. Rule updates and the missing-month twist from Anne Gyorfi, The Game Lady.
Before your first flip, guess which month card was replaced by the Noon. It is revealed when your turn ends; guess right and earn +1 point on top of whatever you scored.
One month was swapped out for Noon, so one season only has two of its months on the table — that season can never be completed. The table won't count seasons for you, so keep track in your head. Push your luck, or play it safe.
Play the chosen number of rounds. Add every round's points; the highest total wins.
Beat the Clock scoring, no-giveaway season display, and the Guess the Missing Month twist: feedback from Anne Gyorfi, The Game Lady.
One month card was secretly swapped for the Noon. Pick the one you think is gone. It's revealed when your turn ends; a right guess earns +1 point.
