Solitaire Chess

HOW TO PLAY:

Each challenge begins with a selection of chess pieces on a 4×4 game board. Your goal is to capture the pieces one by one until there’s only one left.

Every move must be a capture, so plan your moves wisely or you risk leaving pieces stranded!

Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with Chess. Hold any piece in the air to see its name and all possible moves. Within a few challenges you’ll be familiar with every piece – making this a great way to get familiar with the pieces and the movement rules of Chess.

Solitaire Chess includes UNDO and RESET buttons, so don’t be nervous about experimenting in the game.

There’s also a HINT button, for when you get in a real bind.

GAME FEATURES:

400 Challenges, 100 at each difficulty level
Four difficulty levels: EASY, MEDIUM, HARD, EXPERT
Challenge Scorecard to keep track of your wins

Rush Hour

This is the original sliding block Traffic Jam puzzle created by ThinkFun.

HOW TO PLAY:

Your goal is to get the Red Car out the Exit Gate. To accomplish, just move the blocking Cars and Trucks out of the way.

For each challenge, your moves are tracked against the minimum distance possible, and your score depends on how close you came to a perfect distance score. Each challenge becomes a quest in itself!

For your moments of frustration, there is a HINT button. If you really can’t figure it out, there is also a SOLVE button. ThinkFun recommends that you fight your way through and never use these, although they are nice to have available.

Four difficulty levels – EASY, MEDIUM, HARD, EXPERT
