Queens

One queen per row, column and colour, with no two touching.

A board split into coloured regions: you need a queen in every row, every column and every region, and two queens can never touch, not even diagonally.

You all play the same board and every queen placed correctly is yours. Cells where no queen fits anymore dim on their own. You can play 1 vs 1, with three or four players, in pairs (2 vs 2), against bots of four levels or in a private room with your friends.

How to play

You all play at the same time on the same board, each with your own color.
There must be one queen in each row, each column and each color zone, and no two queens can touch (not even diagonally).
Every queen placed correctly is yours. Whoever places the most queens wins.
One tap marks ✕ (only you see it) and a second tap places the queen. Press and hold to remove the ✕.
If you place a queen where it doesn't belong, you lose 1 point and sit out for 4 s.
In 2 vs 2, partners add up their points: red and yellow against blue and green.

Tips

Start with the small zones: they have few possible squares.
If a zone fits entirely in one row, that row belongs to it: cross out the rest.
Squares that dim can no longer hold a queen.
