I was around 10 years old when I played this game for the first time.

There's a Knight puzzle that was, in retrospect, my introduction to state machines. I got frustrated with it and mapped out every possible move of the pieces from the wonky shaped board into a 'linear' board on graph paper. Looking at it that way, the solution was so simple it was obvious.

Mostly played with a friend, it was such a fun game at that age.
