Rail maze 2 is a transport puzzle from Spooky House Studios UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
One of the most famous transport puzzles is the folkloric game—
The fox, the goose,
and the bag of beans
. A farmer has to transport some cargo to the opposite bank
of a river; this is a problem because the boat is very small and only one object can
be taken aboard at a time and the other two must be left unattended. The player
must manage connections between the elements, not leaving contradicting objects
together.
