Ubongo Solo

546 puzzles

1 player - 45 tiles - 546 levels on 100 pages for the solitaire version of Ubongo. 50 double-sided sheets offer 546 puzzles in ascending levels of difficulty; the 45 tiles are divided into three groups - one group features tiles composed of squares, one tiles composed of triangles and one tiles composed of hexagons. Tiles have assorted colors, in each group there is one tile per color and tiles within a group are numbered from 1 to 15.

You begin with sheet 1, side a, and take the parts depicted for the first puzzle from the respective group and place them on the area, without gaps or protruding parts of tiles - you may rotate or turn the tiles any way you want. If you have filled the area correctly, you have solved the puzzle. Aim of the game is, to solve all 546 puzzles without any given time frame.

Some pages on the sheets state special rules which are valid for each level on the page. Some examples: Put two of the depicted parts into one part of the area, and  the other two in the second part; or use only tiles #3 to #9 from a group and you must find the necessary ones yourself; or a place for one tile is given; or you must place the depicted tile and find the other two that you need yourself; or there are four tile pairs for a puzzle and each pair must be placed in the same area part and you need additional, not depicted tiles to fill the area which you must find yourself, or you only need two of the depicted tiles to fill the area.

Ubongo as a thrilling, attractive solitaire challenge without a time factor, using new shapes and rules. Solutions are available from a website.
