@daruma, sorry my help is not yet adequate. I am working on it. In the meantime, let me explain why your attempts failed:

Orange Orange Purple
╭━━━━━╮╭┈┈┈┈┈╮╭─────╮
┃ ■ ■ ┃┊ ▥▥▥ ┊│ □ □ │
╰━━━━━╯╰┈┈┈┈┈╯╰─────╯

CIL: a couple of problems:

1. Colors must be either all the same or all different. Orange, Orange, Purple -- not good!

2. Counts must be either all the same or all different. Two, Three, Two -- not good. Either go for all twos (or all threes) or 1,2,3!

You got the fill right - all different. The shapes are good too -- all same (squares).

Look at the orange tiles. No solution can be all orange, because the counts (2,3,3) are not all same/different, and the fill (solid, solid, hatched) do not work out either.

Spoilers ahead!

Now look at the greens - three of them are solid, promising. They also have counts of 1,2 3 - all different! Now, the shapes -- all different. Bingo!

There is also a simple all-purple solution -- with same counts. I will let you find it as a quick excercise.

Now we look for the all-different-colored solutions. Are there same-count ones? Look at ones. Green hatched square, purple solid triangle, so we need an orage single circle -- no luck. Twos? Orange solid squares, Green solid triangles, and yes, purple solid circles. Bingo!

There is one more answer there, and I will let you find it if you feel like it. (Check for any remaining twos, threes, and 1-2-3s)

Note that after doing a few puzzles, you will start getting an intuitive feel for them.

My daughter can glance at the board and rattle off solutions (or pull the cards IRL) in a couple of seconds. But she can also get the pangram in Spellbinding in a couple of seconds. Ah, to be young and smart!

Ah! Ok let me explain it in my own word to make sure I understand:

+The goal is to make as many groups of 3 tiles as possible.

• There are 5 characteristics per tiles:

• Shapes (circle square triangle)

• Fill of shape (filled empty lined)

• Number of shape (1 2 3)

• Color (orange green pink)

• Outline pattern (outline dotted chubby)

+To create a group you have to match 3 tiles that respect the rules that each characteristics have to be all the same, or all different, not 2 the same and 1 different.

+You can also re-use the same tile for different groupings.

Almost. There are FOUR qualities: color, count, shape and fill.

Since fill is really hard to see on tiny characters, the card outline matches the fill -- Thick for solid, thin for outline, and dashed for hatched

Also, each game has exactly four solutions.

Ensemble one more time please. — [gemini link] Please give it another try. I completely restructured it to be simpler and more robust. Thank you for your help. I should be able to bring this game online full-time very soon.
