Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tall feeder arms enter a compact rounded-square loop and one bottom outlet. A dense five-column reserve ends in vertical and horizontal yellow-chevron covers; two navy boxes border the covered area and a gray corner cell begins at 2.
- Goal
- Keep the arm feeds synchronized, reduce the gray cell from 2 to 0, retract both parts of the L-shaped cover, and clear the newly exposed lower-right reserve.
- Opening
- Activate brown and beige, then add red and the first navy receiver for the opening loop bands.
- Danger Zone
- The second navy and lower pink boxes are visible before their bands arrive. Loading them while brown, beige, and the first navy remain active consumes the slot needed by intervening green or gray.
- Mechanics
- A gray numbered cell changes from 2 to 1 to 0, retracting an L-shaped pair of yellow-chevron covers and exposing deeper boxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What opens the lower-right reserve in Level 396?
Matched box completions reduce the gray corner cell from 2 to 1 and then 0, retracting the vertical and horizontal chevron covers.
When should the second navy box be used?
Wait until the corner reaches 0 and the cover has exposed it; its navy band belongs to the later arm cycle.
