Quicksand - real-time cooperative game

Quicksand is a real-time cooperative game in which players attempt to disable "Quicksands", dangerous traps made of gears and sand. However, you can't evolve as fast as you want, because you have to avoid triggering the trap.

Choose one of many scenarios, then arrange the gear tiles and place the appropriate hourglasses – each containing different amounts of sand – on the first gears in the path. (The path may have obstacles depending on the particular scenario.) The gears feature both color (orange, yellow, gray) and shape (square, circle, crescent). Each player starts with a hand of three cards, with a card showing one of three suits, one of three shapes, or an hourglass.
Once the game starts, players take turns playing a card to try to move the hourglasses forward and prevent them from running out, replenishing their hand after playing. When you play a color or shape card, you flip all hourglasses currently on that color/shape, moving them forward one space on the path. When you play an hourglass card, you flip any hourglass over, moving it forward if possible.

If an hourglass runs out, flip it over and place it next to the gear it was previously on. If someone plays an hourglass card, they can recover this timer by turning it over and placing it back on the equipment, but only if the tile is empty. If the timer runs out again, the players lose the game.

Once a timer reaches the last free space on the path, played cards matching that equipment's color/shape will flip it over - and if it runs out, you lose the game with no chance of recovery. If the hourglasses fill the last equipment tiles in the path without this happening, you win!
