Operating (How to Play)

The objective of Day & Night is to arrange the wooden blocks and pegs on the base to match the image shown on the selected challenge card. The game features two types of challenges:

• Day Challenges: These cards show the full color and shape of the blocks to be used, making them easier to solve.
• Night Challenges: These cards only show the silhouette of the final structure, requiring more abstract thinking and problem-solving.

Gameplay Steps:

1. Select a Challenge: Choose a challenge card from the booklet. Start with the easier "Day" challenges and progress to "Night" challenges as skills develop.
2. Observe the Image: Carefully examine the image on the challenge card. Identify the shapes, colors (for Day challenges), and the order in which the blocks are stacked or placed.

3. Assemble the Structure: Using the wooden blocks and pegs, recreate the image on the challenge card on your wooden base. The pegs are used to stack blocks vertically.
4. Verify Your Solution: Once you believe you have matched the image, compare your physical structure with the challenge card. The solution for each challenge is provided at the back of the booklet for verification.
5. Progress: Move on to the next challenge. The game includes 48 challenges, offering a wide range of difficulty levels.
