How to play Bridges

Goal: Join all the numbered circles, called islands, with bridges. Each island needs as many bridges as its number.

The rules

  • Build bridges in straight lines, across or up and down, from one island to the next.
  • Each island needs as many bridges as its number.
  • Two islands can have at most 2 bridges between them.
  • Bridges may never cross.
  • In the end, all islands must be joined together.

Two ideas that help

Check how many bridges an island can get from other neighbours. If that is not enough, it needs a bridge here.

If a bridge must be there, no other bridge can cross it.

Playing it in Quirk

Tap 2 islands in turn, or drag from one to the other, to add a bridge. Do it again for a second bridge, and once more to remove both.
