Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A broad notched board with an upper-left step, central upper void, long middle recess, lower-right notch, and multiple divider posts.
- Goal
- Create ten discrete Required Shapes, each containing exactly one red gem.
- Opening
- The video fills pink left, peach upper, green upper-right, then yellow and cyan around the top/middle before the blue, purple, and lower routes.
- Danger Zone
- The red-cross preview proves the wide blue rail cannot take two red gems; reserve its lower-left red gem for the yellow-green lower-centre route.
- Mechanics
- Required Shapes combined with a one-red-gem constraint; visual adjacency is invalid if it gives a shape a second red gem.
