A Square Game
Here is a puzzle game which is very simple to play, but lots of fun. Get a piece of cardboard about the size of a postcard and cut it into 15 squares. Write a number on each square, starting from 1 to 15. When you have done that arrange the small squares in any ofder, so that they form one big square, but leave out one small square from the bottom left-hand corner. The play is to slide the numbered squares from one square to another until they are arranged in proper sequencestarting with one in the top left-hand corner and working up to 15, Ne square may be lifted-only by sliding into a vacant square immediately next to it, You will find that setting the last three in order is the hardest part. But it can be done.
