A Solitary Confinement game for the piecepack
This is a solitaire sliding block puzzle similar to the classic 15-puzzle with some aspects borrowed from Ron and Marty Hale-Evans’ Changing Landscapes game 'Easy Slider'.
All 24 tiles are shuffled suit-side down on the table and put in a 5 by 5 square with a hole anywhere in the square that you choose. All the tiles are then flipped over to the suit-side. Now shake all 24 coins in your hands and randomly place one coin on each tile with out looking. Flip over all the coins to the value side. You should place each coin in a corner of the tile so that the tile’s value is easily seen.
Your goal is the rearrange the tiles by sliding tiles one at a time into the hole while maintaining the 5 by 5 square. The tiles should eventually be rearranged so that the Suns are in the first row, the Moons are in the second row, the Crowns are in the third row and the Arms are in the fourth row. Each row should also be arranged so that the tiles read Ace, 2, 3, 4, and 5, from left to right. The four null tiles and the hole should end up in the fifth row, but their final order does not matter. You have one more goal, by the time you have move all the tiles in to their proper place each tile must also have on it a coin of the same value as the tile. To do this, after each time a tile is moved, you may swap the coin on the moved tile with a coin on an orthogonally adjacent tile.
