- Separate Puzzle Cards: Organize the 300 puzzle cards into their respective categories if they are not already separated. Shuffle each category deck thoroughly.

Operating (How to Play)
Game Objective:
The first team to successfully place four of their game pieces in a consecutive line (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) on the game board wins.
Gameplay Flow:
- Starting the Game: Determine which team goes first (e.g., by coin toss or agreement).
- Choosing a Category: The active team chooses one of the 11 puzzle categories they wish to attempt.
- Drawing a Card: A player from the opposing team draws a card from the chosen category and reads the challenge aloud.
- Solving the Puzzle: Both teams race to solve the puzzle. The first team to correctly state the answer wins the round.
- Placing a Game Piece: The winning team places one of their hexagonal game pieces on any empty hexagon on the game board. Strategic placement is key to forming a line of four.
- Moving the Einstein Token: After a round, the Einstein token remains on the board. The next round begins with the other team choosing a category.
- Blocking Opponents: Teams should not only focus on their own lines but also on blocking the opposing team from completing their lines of four.
- Winning the Game: The game ends immediately when a team successfully places four of their game pieces in a row.

Maintenance
- Storage: Store all game components in their original box when not in use to prevent loss or damage. Keep the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Cleaning: Wipe the game board and plastic game pieces with a soft, dry cloth if they become dusty. Do not use abrasive cleaners or liquids, as this may damage the surfaces.
- Card Care: Handle puzzle cards with clean, dry hands to prevent smudges and wear. Avoid bending or creasing the cards.
- Wooden Token: The wooden Einstein token can be wiped with a dry cloth.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Components:
- If any game components are missing upon opening the box, please refer to the "What's in the Box" section and contact Professor PUZZLE customer support for assistance.
- Difficulty with Puzzles:
- Some puzzles may be more challenging than others. Encourage teamwork and discussion within your team. If a puzzle is consistently too difficult, consider setting a time limit for answers or allowing a "pass" option for a new card (if agreed upon by all players).
- Disputes over Answers:
- In case of a dispute over a correct answer, the team that drew the card should have the final say, or a neutral third party can be consulted if available. The goal is to have fun, so friendly resolution is encouraged.
