How to Play

The objective of SmartGames Fortress is to strategically place the four wall pieces to create a secure fortress that protects all blue knights while keeping all red warriors outside the walls.

1. Choose a Challenge: Select a challenge from the provided booklet. Challenges range from easy to very difficult.
2. Initial Setup: Set up the game board with the knights and dungeon as shown in the chosen challenge.
3. Place the Walls: Your task is to place the four wall pieces onto the game board. The walls must fit into the available slots and connect to form a continuous barrier.
4. Solve the Puzzle: The correct solution requires that all blue knights are enclosed within the walls, and all red warriors are outside the walls. The dungeon piece is part of the fortress structure and can be used to help enclose the blue knights.
5. Verify Solution: Once you believe you have placed the walls correctly, check the solution provided at the back of the challenge booklet to verify your answer.

There are 80 unique challenges, offering hours of engaging gameplay and progressive difficulty to continuously develop your logical thinking and spatial reasoning.
