Jeu des Grenouilles
Maker WX Paris |
In these puzzles, the moves are typically apparent and finite but typically require many moves to get to the end state. I especially enjoy N-ary puzzles, which are puzzles that can easily be extended to create puzzles with more and more steps, typically with exponential growth.
