Puzzles by Type > Sequential Move
 Sequential move puzzles require a series of steps or moves to solve the puzzle and reach your goal. Usually there are many steps to follow so it's hard to memorise and therefore even if you do the puzzle you may not be able to repeat the solution without a lot of practice.
Sliding block puzzles are probably the best know in this category. Rush Hour has been a top seller since it's release by Binary Arts (later to become Think Fun) in 1996. But this is recent puzzle history. Back in 1932 J. H. Flemming patented the popular sliding block puzzle called Dad's Puzzle in England although it may have been known earlier than this in France as the L'Ane Rouge. Variations of this puzzle then became very popular in Japan during WWII; one called "Daughter in a Box" and another called "Break Through the Enemy's Defences" were made for civilians to pass the time in air raid shelters. This type puzzle is still very popular to this day with versions like our handsome wooden puzzle Major Migraine Maker and others.

Large Solitaire - wooden board puzzle with glass balls |
|
Start with the centre position emply and balls on all other positions on the board. The object of the Solitaire puzzle, often known as Peg Solitaire to distinguish it from the card game also called Solitaire, is to remove the balls one after the other by jumping horizontally or vertically over another ball. In the end one ball should be left in the centre hole.
Just having one marble left is a challenge but it's extra difficult to have one left in the middle.
Size: Diameter of the board is 300mm made from Sheesham wood with large white marble balls.
Puzzle comes nicely boxed with balls separately packaged inside to avoid damage to the board during transport.

Anti Virus - The Bio-logical puzzle game |
|
Ages 7+ (loved by Adults!)
Multi-level Logic Game. Develops strategic planning, visual and spatial perception. 60 Challenges. 5 levels. Starter, Junior, Expert and Master.
Put your immune system to work and get rid of the virus before it can multiply itself.
Anti-virus is a sliding puzzle game with a new twist. Tiles that only slide diagonally and can move in groups! Once you "catch the bug" it's hard to put this game down.
Playing this game is a very tactile experience; the tile pieces are moulded such that they 'fit' your fingers very well. They also fit the game board which is moulded so the pieces fit exactly and force the diagonal moves. A quite addictive puzzle.

A Drive Down Lombard Street dexterity slide puzzle |
|
Edward Hordern IPP Puzzle Exchange - San Francisco, USA, August 2009
Presented by Brian Young. Made by Brian Young @ Mr Puzzle Australia. Designed by Brian Young.
This sliding block puzzle is very different to others. Firstly, you cannot touch the tiles that you must slide because they are behind perspex. You must use dexterity to do this. Generally more than one block at a time will be moving which means you must think many moves ahead. Secondly, you use the blocks that you are sliding to deliver the ball bearing from top to bottom of the puzzle. This is like a maze because at the same time you are sliding the blocks you are forming the maze-like track that the ball bearing must take to arrive at the bottom. Most of the pieces are different; that is the tracks in each tile that carry the ball bearing are different.
