Re: Dr. Mike's Rush Hour

You could cut out a piece of matting like for a picture frame or thick cardboard - assuming 2x2 tiles and a 4x4 board, you would cut out an 8 inch square to hole the tiles in place. Steve Jones Jorge Arroyo writes:
Hi, 
I think the easiest is to use felt surface to play on (like the card
tables). But I think it won't solve the problem completely. Another option
is to make a frame. The game Viktory II uses a clever puzzle like frame that
can adapt to many sizes to keep the tiles from moving. See:
http://www.viktorygame.com/ maybe a similar system could be built adapted to
the size of the piecepack pieces... Cheers, -Jorge On Sun, Apr 6, 2008 at 3:09 PM, Emily <emily.page@...> wrote: 
I am trying to figure out a way to play the Rush Hour game with the
piecepack.  I don't know if anyone has seen Dr. Mike's page (http: /
/www.dr - mikes- math- games- for - kids.com/) but he has puzzles
(600) and printouts of cars and a board to print out.  But the cars
just fit on the piecepack tiles so no need (maybe) to print his board. 
When I try to slide the cars on top of the tiles; the tiles, of
course, move. (bad use of semi-colon there, I think... but I like it). 
At any rate... does anyone have any tricks to keeping the tiles
TOGETHER as a board when playing a game?  They are awfully slidey and
wiggly. 
I have put packing take around my lovely cardboard pieces, so they are
slippery-er than they would have been as cardstock-cereal
box-sandwich, but there is still a friction problem. Thanks for thinking about this... even if there is no good solution! E
