TUTORIAL
Queens Game is a logic puzzle inspired by chess queens. Your goal is to place one queen in each row, column, and colored region, making sure that no two queens can attack each other, even diagonally.
Step 01
Each puzzle has a grid divided into colored regions. Your goal is to place exactly one queen in every row, every column, and every color region. Start by finding regions with the fewest empty cells, because those are usually your best first moves.
Step 02
Click or tap a cell once to place a queen. Click again to drop an X marker and block cells where a queen cannot go. Click a third time to clear the cell. Use markers liberally, because elimination is the core skill in Queens Game.
Step 03
Queens cannot touch each other, not even diagonally. Once every row, column, and region has exactly one queen with no conflicts, the puzzle is solved. There is always exactly one correct solution, reachable by pure logic. No guessing required.
The four rules
One queen per row
One queen per column
One queen per region
Queens must not touch diagonally
Valid placement example
One queen per row, column, and color region - no two touching diagonally.
