Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Top row has 6 mystery bottles with question marks. Bottom row has 2 rock-encased bottles on the right and 4 partially visible bottles on the left.
- Goal
- Shatter the rock shells to reveal hidden colors, then use those revealed bottles to deduce and sort the mystery bottles above.
- Opening

- Danger Zone
- Breaking both rock shells too early floods the board with unknown colors and leaves no workspace to plan sorting lanes.
- Mechanics
- Mystery bottle reveals depend on freeing bottom-row resources first, creating a dependency chain between rows.

Why should I crack one rock shell at a time?
