Smart games IQ XL game with chopsticks

Content:

• game board
• 10 coloured sticks
• booklet with 120 challenges and solutions

Game flow:

- Choose a challenge and place the sticks on the game board as shown in the challenge (the next two bullet points refer to the explanation of the challenge booklet):
- When you place the chopsticks vertically, the grooves will remain visible (this is indicated by darker squares in the instructions). To orient the chopsticks vertically, you can use the numbers written above the chopsticks.
- When you place the sticks horizontally, the grooves will be hidden, but you will still know where they are because they are marked with small squares in the instructions. To position the sticks horizontally, you can orientate yourself by the letters written next to the sticks.

Aim of the game:

- Once you have placed the sticks as shown in the challenge, you need to place the remaining sticks on the board. All the chopsticks should be at the same level - horizontal chopsticks are slightly higher than vertical ones.
- There are 25 possible positions on the game board where the horizontal sticks cross the vertical sticks. There are also 25 grooves on all sticks together. This means that all the grooves must be used for crossing; horizontal and vertical sticks cannot cross where both have a groove, nor where neither has a groove.
- A player may raise the horizontal stick if he needs to place the vertical stick underneath it, provided that he places the horizontal stick back as shown in the instructions.
- You have arrived at the correct solution if you place all ten sticks on the game board; there is only one correct solution. The solutions are at the end of the challenge booklet.
