Card Spin

Post by eMTe »

The object is to rearrange the 9 disks so that all neighbouring cards (that is, cards whose bottom edges touch) total 10 in value (aces count as one).

Game looks simple at first, but whoever will finish it in less than couple of hours is a genius.

Sometimes you run into a puzzle game that is so fiendish that it ceases being funny. This is one of those times. It sort of reminds me of a puzzle in an adventure game that could not be completed without a walkthrough. No walkthrough for this one though, you gotta figure it out. There's a reason this game has the option of saving - solving one of these will take hours, if not days.

Nothing fancy here, only a mean puzzle, sort of like super evil sudoku. Good brain teaser, but not enough variety to last. I suppose solving it once will feel like an accomplishment, but solving it twice is just masochistic.

I think I know how to easy solve this puzzle using certain well-known system (turned into popular game). At least I think this trick will give me finished number of possible solutions and then i'll only have to rearrange the wheels... We'll see. :)
