Rebus / Rules
Rebus Ramhead consists of a game board, a magazine, and tokens. The rebus also includes a set of puzzle tasks.
The game board is made up of 9 fields. Each field contains 4 chambers. Means a total of 36 tokens can be placed in the chambers of the game board. The tokens are color-coded. Each of the six colors is represented by six identical tokens.
The puzzle tasks display various color patterns that the solver is required to create. The solver loads the magazine with tokens and moves the magazine horizontally across the game board. During the magazine movement, tokens fall out of the magazine and are placed into the game board. Next, it is checked if the created color pattern matches the pattern from the puzzle task. If the patterns are identical, the solver has successfully solved the rebus.

The “R” symbol indicates one of the nine fields where the solver places the magazine. On this field, the magazine is loaded with tokens. |
 |
The “X” symbol indicates the field to which the solver must move the magazine. Next, it is checked if the created color pattern matches the pattern from the puzzle task. |
 |
The star symbol marks those tokens that are placed directly into the game board before placing the magazine on the starting field “R”. |
If none of the nine fields are marked with the “R” or “X” symbol, it is up to the solver to determine these fields according to the specific puzzle variant.
The puzzle tasks are divided into groups, each with different rules and solving procedures.
