A puzzle game and method of playing provides for sequentially ordering a
plurality of tiles that are originally oriented in a random pattern, and
where a rotational element is included to increase the challenge. The
game includes a frame with a central horizontal shaft defining a
plurality of slide rows. A plurality of tiles are slideable along the
horizontal axis within each of the plurality of slide rows, each of the
plurality of tiles having a design on a front facing portion of the tile
and an inverted form of the design on a rear facing portion of the tile.
A sub-frame is rotatably mounted in the frame for rotating about the
shaft. When the player rotates the sub-frame by one-hundred eighty
degrees during game play, the plurality of slide rows containing a
sub-set of the plurality of tiles are oriented such that the rear facing
portions of the sub-set of the plurality of tiles are viewable from the
front facing portion of the frame, and the plurality of slide rows are
inverted as viewed along the vertical axis. Using the puzzle game, a
player slides the tiles in each row left or right along the horizontal
axis. The player selectively rotates the sub-frame to orient the slide
rows and corresponding tiles in a different position as viewed along the
vertical axis. The sliding and rotating steps are repeated until the
designs on the tiles are positioned in a logical or sequential pattern.
