Match number-marked tiles in a compact layered layout. The starting arrangement has a complete removal route, but your choices can still block later pairs.

An example before you play
Equal symbols cannot pair while one is covered. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

Layer and side access matter as well as symbol matching. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
