Super Chains

Why We Picked Super Chains

Super Chains is a tidy little problem: the board and the space left on it, with every mistake visible only after the fact. Early boards forgive almost anything; later ones ask you to plan around pieces you have not seen yet. Nothing is hidden except the move you have not considered yet, which is the point. It sits at 166 of 172 on the puzzle shelf, and the games above it are mostly larger rather than sharper. The page's own numbers: 5.0 out of 5 from 1 ratings.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• If the cursor will not reach the game, click inside the frame once first.
• There is no fail state beyond an unusable board, and an unusable board is usually your own doing.
• Check what a move opens for the next piece, not just what it clears now.

Editor’s Note

The honest limit: undo is rare here, so a bad placement usually means starting the board again. The interface is one screen, the rules are visible on it, and nothing has to be remembered from a previous visit.
