Huarong Road
Slide the wooden blocks aside until the big red block can leave through the gap at the bottom.
How to play
- The tray holds wooden blocks of four shapes and a little empty space.
- Drag a block to slide it a cell at a time into empty space: up, down, left or right, round corners too.
- Get the big red block to the gap in the bottom edge of the tray, and it slides out.
- On some trays a brass disc is set into the floor. Tap it to turn it a quarter round: every block standing wholly on it turns with it, so a long block lying across it stands up on its end.
- One block moved, however far, is one move. Undo takes a move back, and Restart sets the tray up again.
What it trains
- Planning ahead: work out which block has to move first, and where it can go so it is out of the way.
- The red block sometimes has to step back before it can go forward.
