POCKET EXPERIMENT / 0358

Hamlet Slide

Unite eight cottages into a town hall at the central civic lot. Slide the whole hamlet; stone lots and the central park split each row or column into independent lanes. Equal buildings merge once per slide: two cottages become a hamlet, two hamlets a market. Two markets can form a town hall ONLY when the destination cell touches the park along an edge. Bring the resulting hall to the outlined central lot. No new buildings appear, so every cottage matters. You have fourteen successful slides. The park and the lower stone barrier create a stopping place for the final hall—plan its route before merging the last markets.
