Tricky Tower

Alternate red in green in 6 levels

 

A big green dotted cylinder, a medium green cylinder with a heart pattern, two broad and two narrow high cylinders in two colors each, a green dotted disc and a gaudy pink „onion tower“ top smile at us when we open the box. And now we are asked to build towers out of those pieces according to the pictures. What about that is difficult or a puzzle that needs thinking and logic?

Well, first of all, all color levels shown must be visible and, second, this is exactly the problem, because some of the pieces are hollow and other pieces can disappear during stacking and thus become invisible. Therefore you must consider very well which piece you use where in the stack to achieve the color levels shown in the order and number shown.

You must always end up with the exact number of levels as pictured; the card always shows them as equally wide and equally high. When stacking the pieces the colored part of a piece counts as one level, regardless how high it is compared to the part in this color of another piece, and the width or diameter of a piece is equally unimportant, it only is important for the difficulty in stacking pieces. A little help is given that pieces that are available but not needed to solve the tasked are pictured without patterns in uniform cream color.

As in all games of the series there are 40 puzzles in four levels of difficulty, the back side of each puzzle card shows the solution for the puzzle with line drawings so that you can check exactly which piece sits inside another piece. A challenge not only for four-year old children, Tricky Tower is a pretty colorful logic fun for all the family.
