Description
Checkerboard – Advanced Sliding Puzzle
Checkerboard is a sliding logic puzzle designed and produced by Siebenstein-Spiele in Münster, Germany. It uses 25 round wooden tokens, a circular wooden frame, and an acrylic guide plate to create a controlled movement challenge.
The objective is to shift the tokens so that no two tiles of the same color appear in any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line. After solving the pattern, the puzzle must also be returned to its original starting configuration.
Movement is restricted by precisely cut channels in the acrylic top layer, so each move must be planned carefully. Small changes can affect multiple rows and diagonals at once, making this a thoughtful logic puzzle for experienced solvers.
