Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Mystery feeders enter an hourglass. Orange, green, and white preload three slots above a magenta blue-key box, two black ? cells, a chained row, and a white 4 counter.
- Goal
- Open the chain with magenta, process mystery reveals, and drive the white counter from 4 through 1 to open.
- Opening
- Preserve the orange, green, and white preload and use only the fourth slot until a receiver departs.
- Danger Zone
- The black ? cells are mysteries, not counters, and the fixed black balls remain throughout the clear.
- Mechanics
- Magenta completion opens the chain; later completions reduce white 4, while mystery cells reveal colors and the ball stoppers stay fixed.
