Hanaoki - Star Battle Puzzle

A quiet puzzle about placing blossoms. The board is cut from Japanese patterned paper. You place one blossom at a time. One in every row. One in every column. One in every region fenced by a thick line. And no two blossoms may touch, not even at a corner. That is the whole rule. From there you cross out the squares that cannot hold one, and the squares that can narrow down to a single certainty. ■ Never played this before The game teaches itself on the board. Not a wall of text — you place, sweep and lift a piece with your own finger, one move at a time. ■ Over 500 puzzles From a few minutes to a long sit. New rules arrive as you go, and the board asks to be read a little more deeply each time. ■ It stays out of your way No ads. No network. No account. Play on the train or in airplane mode. Your progress follows you to a new device through iCloud. For anyone who would rather look at a shape than fill in a number.
