Description

You are given a circle of 10 animals. Your goal is to save the donkey by having it be the last remaining animal (or you can pre-select your own animal to save).
Instructions:
-Start on any animal and count 1,2,3,4 in a clockwise direction touching an animal each time and going from one animal to its clockwise neighbor. Include the animal you started with in the count.
-Remove the animal you touch on count 4.
-Start again on any animal and repeat the 1,2,3,4 count - removing the animal you touch on the 4 count.
-When counting you must include each circle whether it contains an animal or not.
The GOAL is to end up with 1 animal on the board- The DONKEY - or if you prefer you can specify your chosen animal at the start of the game

This is a lot harder than it may first appear, but if you can figure out the logic behind the moves you will be able to solve it every time regardless of where the Donkey is first positioned. I don't show the solution on the video, but a written solution does come with the puzzle.

Comes with wood base and cover. Measures about 6" square in the cover. Copyright Creative Crafthouse

Great quality. The item matches the description

This puzzle looks like a lot of fun. Excellent workmanship and shipped promptly. Will definitely buy from this small business again.

Purchased as a gift for the guy at work who is always problem-solving! Hoping it takes him a while. :)

This was a great purchase!!! It a fun game to play for all ages!!! I would gladly buy this as a gift for all my friends and family!!

Unique gift. Would buy again.

Fun Xmas present. Shipped fast. Nice quality work.

Gave as a gift; didn’t actually get to play it. Very nice quality!

The puzzle was beautifully designed and worked well, but my lid had a weird split on it. I forgot to take a picture, unfortunately. But it was nothing horrible, and honesty I didn't notice until I went to wrap it(Christmas gift). The lid was still functional and didn't even look bad. But if my brother leaves it out as a coffee table game, he's not even going to notice.
