About this picture
This picture shows a pair of old brass dividers resting on an aged paper map. The dividers have two long arms joined at the top, with a small screw wheel in the middle and sharp points at the ends. Next to them lies a short wooden pencil with a worn tip.
The map is cream and tan, with faded blue lines, coast shapes and small marks. Two round compass roses sit on the paper, one in the upper middle and one at the lower left. The light is warm and soft, and it falls across the gold metal and the paper, leaving gentle shadows on the table. The brown wood under the map adds a calm, earthy touch.
How to play
Choose how many pieces you want, then press Play. Drag a piece with your mouse or your finger. When it comes close to its neighbour, the two pieces click together.
Many players start with the edges: "Edges only" shows just the border pieces. "Preview" shows the whole picture, and "Ghost" puts a soft copy of it under the board. Your game saves by itself, so you can stop and come back later. There is no rush: take your time.
Tips
- Start with the brass dividers, since their gold tones stand out clearly against the cream paper.
- Work on the blue compass roses and ink lines next, as they have clear star shapes and edges.
- Save the soft brown wood at the edges and corners for last, because these areas are darker and similar.
