Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two upper stacks, five central towers, and lower source columns share a compact loop entered from the top-left portal.
- Goal
- Complete visible central colors, reduce all four shutters, and clear every newly exposed column.
- Opening
- Start with green and accessible yellow and pink fronts, then use cyan and purple.
- Danger Zone
- At `12/14` or `14/14`, wait; simultaneous staged reveals can block the portal bend.
- Mechanics
- One rectangular upper `2` shutter and three cylindrical lower `2/3/4` completion shutters stage hidden sources.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the upper `2` and lower `2/3/4` values mean?
They are completion-driven shutter stages that reveal hidden source columns.
Are the lower tubes tappable numbered queues?
No. Their counters fall through board progress rather than direct dispatch taps.
What does `x/14` mean?
It is the number of road spaces currently occupied.
