Chaos on the central station of Idletown! Who knows which freight goes to which place? Assist Fritz in getting the correct freight to the right train stations in Logic, a version of the classic MasterMind game. The mice were at play while the cat had a cold, and all the transport documents are missing; the telephone is out of order, and the computer cables have been gnawed. The only way to get the freight delivered is to guess what goes where. Once the freight is placed, click the train signal to see how many freight packages are correct and if any are at the correct station. Play continues until all the packages are at the correct stations. You can choose to use between four and six stations and/or freight parcels. Determine if you want 9, 12, 16, or 22 attempts and whether repetitions or hints are allowed. Logic is a fun way for a child to focus on creative problem solving.
