Marble Monster

Roll the red marble into your lair!

Marble Monster is yet another addition to the range of logicus brain teasers or logic puzzles, this time with a topic of marbles and monsters. The little green Marble Monster is guarding the little red marble in its lair, but the marble always escapes and the Marble Monster must take it back to the lair. And this task is made difficult by the black marbles, because they block the way and need to be pushed off the path. The Marble Monster can always only push one marble per turn, regardless if it’s a red or a black one, and it is not allowed to take a step without pushing a marble, that is, it can only move to a spot when it pushes off a marble from this spot. No marble, regardless of which color, can be pushed off the board, and a black marble can never enter the Marble Monster’s lair in the middle of the board-

As in all games of the series there are 60 different puzzles in four different levels of difficulties; sometimes you must think around corners in the true sense of the word or even push the marbles around each other in order to open up a path for the red marble. And just when a marble has been pushed out of the way it might crop up again as a new obstacle, and still the red one is not in the lair!

The solutions are given on the back of the puzzle cards and as usual it is recommended that you solve the puzzles in sequence, this facilitates solving the puzzles.

Marble Monster fits seamlessly into the logicus range, the colors are a monsterly lilac and green and despite the notation 1+ on the box Marble Monster is pure logic entertainment for one puzzle-loving marble pusher!
