Same question as Steve. Is it permissible to lay a tile where neither colour of the tile laid matches the colour on an adjacent tile. Also, after the first turn, can you place a lone piece not connected to any other time as long as it fits on a connected empty space?

What happens when you play all six tiles during a play and still have a bonus play left? Do you draw six tiles or does the turn pass to the next player?
