Puzzle 564: Pearls of Wisdom 52
Fans of the classic game Chip's Challenge, rejoice! The author of that game, Chuck Sommerville, is creating a PC port of the game's spiritual sequel Chuck's Challenge! Do you have a Steam account? Please join me in giving Chuck's Challenge 3D a thumbs-up vote to increase the game's chances of being made available on Steam! I supported the game on Kickstarter, and I would like it to achieve success! :)
Monday Mutant 117: The Inner Limits (multiplicative)
In this The Inner Limits puzzle, a number indicates the product of two quantities: the number of cells in an uninterrupted horizontal
line from that cell (up to the nearest edges of the loop, and including
the cell itself), and the number of cells in an uninterrupted vertical line from that cell (up to the nearest edges of the loop, and including
the cell itself). The rules are otherwise unchanged.
Thomas Snyder posted a beautiful puzzle in preparation for the recent United States Puzzle Competition. It is my hope that I have made a puzzle at least as excellent as his.
Monday Mutant 116: Seek and Spell / Crowd Nine
In this Seek and Spell
puzzle, every row, every column, and every outlined box consisting of
nine cells each must contain every letter in FLINCH MAG exactly once (as
in a Crowd Nine puzzle, but with letters). The rules are otherwise unchanged.
This puzzle honors Minfang Lin from China, the winner of my recent BoardGameGeek contest giving away cards from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, plus a custom puzzle for the winner. Even though Minfang Lin chose not to accept the cards, the other half of the prize remains.
Puzzle 561: Tetra Firma 36
Barry Figgins has officially announced the wooden version of my board game Battle of LITS in a Kickstarter update. A $25 pledge will get you 8 double-sided quadrants which can be
assembled into the 4 boards from the print-and-play edition, or into a
variety of other arrangements for players seeking extra replay value. Support Barry's mission to make board games deluxe and wooden!
Monday Mutant 115: Streaming Content / Tetra Firma
Shade in tetrominoes in simultaneous accordance with the rules of Streaming Content and the rules of Tetra Firma. (As the grid isn't partitioned into regions, the rule of Tetra Firma that every region contains one tetromino is waived.)
Monday Mutant 114: Room and Reason (wacky)
In this Room and Reason puzzle, not all of the rooms are rectangular. The white cells may not pass over two or more boundaries
between consecutive rooms in an uninterrupted horizontal or vertical
line (even if this entails exiting a room and then entering it again --
this is more specific than the usual rule which states that the white
cells may not exceed two consecutive rooms in an uninterrupted horizontal or vertical line). The rules are otherwise unchanged.
Barry Figgins apparently makes board game accessories and the like out of wood. He is using Kickstarter to raise the money to upgrade his equipment. Thanks in part to some money given to me by a guy named Jay, I've been able to muster a $150 pledge, meaning that Barry will make me a wooden version of my board game Battle of LITS, one whose pieces don't get blown around underneath a ceiling fan! Thanks, Jay! And thanks in advance to Barry!
