DOP Puzzle Displace One Part

Why We Picked DOP Puzzle Displace One Part

There is one decision in DOP Puzzle Displace One Part, repeated: dragging pieces into place, and where that leaves the space you still have. dragging pieces into place is the mechanic, but the real work is deciding what to leave alone. A puzzle that explains itself in a glance and then refuses to be rushed. It sits at 168 of 172 on the puzzle shelf, and the games above it are mostly larger rather than sharper. On the record: 5.0 out of 5 from 1 ratings.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Dragging is the only verb, so precision matters more than speed.
• The board starts solvable and ends solved, and the middle part is your planning.
• If a placement feels forced, back out and try the other side of the board.

Editor’s Note

A coffee-break game: a board, a sitting, and nothing to keep up with between visits. There is no hint economy and no currency; the only resource is the space you have not used.
