Puzzling Nelson Couldn't Help Itself


Perched, smiling, inviting me to pick it up, sat, Hot Spot. Puzzling Nelson couldn't resist. Its collection runneth over.
Seriously though, Puzzling Nelson was really looking for a puzzle where strategies could be taken from one puzzle to another. After getting to challenge card 10 Puzzling Nelson began to realise that it was necessary to break the larger puzzle into smaller intermediate steps. We then realised that this was the same strategy used in Rush Hour and many others. We also really like the fact that all the pieces called Bots are numbered which allows for the writing of algebraic solutions. It's a very easy game to set up and the Bots like all Thinkfun games are very tactile and especially easy to move.
