Ghost Dog - Yellow Brick Road

In Oz, Dorothy just wants to go home—and you want her to go too so you can complete the Yellow Brick Road!

In Yellow Brick Road, each player starts with an imaginary 3x3 grid and places a face-down winged monkey token above each column and to the right of each row. They each draw a card from the deck.

On a turn, you draw a card, then your opponent turns over an upward-facing monkey token near your play area, face down, and turns over another monkey token, face up. Place one of the two cards from your hand on an empty space on your grid that is not on the same row/column as the upward-facing monkey. Two cards have special powers: one lets you swap two cards in your grid, and the other gives you immunity to monkeys on your next turn.

Once each player has placed nine cards, the game ends. Each card is worth as many points as the total number of cards in the same road segment. So, an isolated road segment is worth 1 point, a road segment of two cards is worth 4 points (2 per card), etc. Whoever has the most points wins.
