Ferry the cargo across the river without leaving the wrong pair alone, while the tide changes your boat each trip.
Was this fun?
How to play
You must move a set of cargo items across a river by boat. Certain pairs must never be left together on a bank without you there to watch them. The twist: the tide changes the boat's capacity on every crossing, so how many items you can carry shifts each trip and the order of your moves becomes the whole puzzle. Get everything across safely in as few crossings as possible.
