OK, I thought this game was completely
impossible at first... But, then, I learned the tricks! Once you
know the tricks, I promise, you don't have to guess on this game. The
tricks will ALWAYS tell you what move to make next. So, how fast can you
get at this? Scroll down for the rules and tricks.

Game
Instructions:
Put streets around
the numbers so that you make one big loop around the city.
Click around the edges of the blocks to either put streets
in or block them off... But, you have to follow these rules:
1) The number
of walls around a block must match the number written on the
block.
2) The walls
must form ONE big loop only.
3) No "dead
end" streets allowed. No branches can stick out of the
loop.
4) All
streets you build must be part of the loop. There
cannot be extra streets.
The game will tell
you when you are breaking a rule.
TIP: If a
street should be blocked off, always do it because that will
lead to other moves!
This game seems really hard at
first, but it's easy once you get used to how it works.
Here are some tricks!
To start, look for
0's:
When you see this:
Do this:
Then, hit any 3's
that are around those 0's:
When you see this:
Do this:
TIP:
While you're at it, use the tricks below to deal with
anything else around those 0's right away.
You will always start
with the 0's and work your way out from there.
3's are
always really easy to work with:
When you see this:
Do this:
3's that
are together in a row are really fun... I'll
let you figure out why!
For 2's:
When you see this:
Do this:
TIP:
Remember that 2's always need two streets around them --
and, sometimes, they are on opposite sides.
For 1's:
When you see this:
Do this:
Other
things to watch out for:
Street
corners... because you cannot have any
branches that stick out of the loop...
When you see this:
Do this:
It
doesn't matter what number is there. It's
just a 1 in this example.
Straight
streets... again, because you cannot have any
branches that stick out of the loop...
When you see this:
Do this:
It
doesn't matter what the numbers are.
Because you
cannot have any dead end streets...
