Tile value determines number of neighbors

Logic and power of deduction are on demand for this solitaire game. At the start you are confronted with an empty board made up from 19 hexagon cases in a hexagon arrangement. Number tiles are laid out ready - number face up - there are four times the numbers 1 to 4 and once number 5 in black and white. A deck of task cards provides 24 tasks for which you use those number tiles. The task card shows the necessary number tiles in each color and also an arrangement of black and white tiles without numbers, for which you use the number tiles face-down. First, you select the necessary number tiles from the stock of all tiles and then use the remaining tiles to cover the given hexagons on the card with black and white pieces without numbers. The task is always the same: To arrange the given number tiles of a task on the hexagons so that a number tile has always a number of adjacent pieces of the opposite color, equal to the value of the piece. Tiles without numbers count for adjacent pieces, adjacent pieces of the same color are not important. So, for instance, a white piece of value 1 has exactly one adjacent black piece for a correct solution, regardless of the number of white adjacent pieces.

The back side of each task cards shows the solution, the board is always completely filled.

Pure logic and fun in thinking, the game is not only an intellectual pleasure, but also a tactile and visual one - board and number pieces are made from classy wood - which presents much more of a challenge than you would suspect at first glance on the simple rules. A challenge in black and white for your grey brain cells!
