Beamed!

Downs only. No instructions. Fun! (Though, before submitting, I checked the regular PDF, to be sure.)

Well, I tried downs only but... I can't say I really got anywhere.

Easy Breezy.

But I'm curious how many people have or haven't heard of this thing.
I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.
