Content:

• game board,
• 10 colored sticks,
• booklet with 120 challenges and solutions.

How to play the game:

- Select a challenge and place the sticks on the game board as shown in the challenge (the next two paragraphs refer to the booklet with challenges).
- When you place sticks vertically, the cutouts in the sticks will stay visible (indicated by darker squares on the sticks). The correct orientation of each vertical stick is indicated by a number on the top side.
- When you place sticks horizontally, the cutouts will be face down and not visible. You will still be able to see the position of the cutouts as they are indicated by smaller squares. Horizontally places sticks show a letter on the left side.

2. Goal of the game:
- Place all remaining sticks on the game board. All the sticks should be level. The horizontal sticks are placed slighlty higher than the vertical sticks.
- There are 25 positions on the game board where a horizontal stick crosses a vertical one. There are also 25 cutouts in the sticks. This means that all the cutouts must be used for crrosing; a horizontal and a vertical stick cannot cross eacother where they both have a cutout or where neither of them have a cutout.
- Players may lidt horizontally placed sticks to fit sticks certically underneath them, as long as the sticks shown in the challenge end up again in the right place and orientation.
- You have found the one and only solution so all 10 sticks fit on the game board. Solutions can be found at the end of the challenge booklet.
