THE PLAYBOOK · ZZBSDZ
Getting started with Tangram
Try Tangram at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Arrange seven pieces into the square target. Rotate or flip a piece to fit; this game currently offers one target shape.
Something to practise
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
What you are aiming for
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How a round unfolds
- Drag a selected piece.
- Rotate in 45-degree steps or flip it.
- Use snapping for precise alignment.
- Check the layout or use one-piece assistance.
How to interact with the game
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Put the rules into context
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.
Keep this in mind
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
