How to Play
On the left is a palette of colors. On the right is a palette of divisions and ordinaries. To select an ordinary or division, click on the one you want in the palette. To make part of the shield a color, click on the color palette, then on the part you want to color. If your creation breaks the Rule of Tincture, you'll get yelled at. If you follow the Rule of Tincture correctly, you will be cheered.

This is an introductory version of the game. The Furs don't work yet.
