Matrix
Matrix type. One deck. No redeals.
Object
Restore game pieces to their proper order.
Rules
When the game opens the all game pieces except for the final piece
are dealt to the tableau in their proper order. The pieces are then
scrambled to a random pattern. With the larger grids it may take
several seconds for the scrambling to be completed. Pieces may not
be lifted from the canvas. They may be moved by clicking on a piece
which is in either the row or the column which has the empty spot.
That piece and all intervening pieces will move one space towards
the empty spot. The image game piece sets are best used with the
grid size for which they are designed. The size is indicated in the
name of the set. King of Hearts 4x4, Players Trumps 10x10, etc. The
default set of numbered pieces works with any grid size. When all
the pieces have been restored to their correct order the final
piece will be dealt to the tableau and the game has been won. Every
Matrix game can be solved.
Strategy
Begin in the upper left hand corner and complete one row before
starting the next. Take a screen shot of the image sets before the
game is scrambled.
