## What is Kura Tawara?

Step into the sandals of Tawarakichi, a young clerk at a rice merchant in old Edo, and fill the storehouse with bales in this classic Sokoban puzzle.

Push every bale onto a cushion to store it away and clear the stage. Simple to learn, deep to master.

How to play:
1. Flick to move Tawarakichi.
2. Push the bales onto the cushions.
3. Store every bale to clear the stage.

Packed with 14 storehouses and 280 stages, plus a fresh daily puzzle in Today's Storehouse.

Every puzzle is generated to always be solvable, so there are no unfair dead ends. Stuck? Undo or restart as many times as you like.

As you advance, the goods change from rice bales to sake casks, charcoal, miso barrels and treasure boxes. New tricks appear in each storehouse: icy floors, color-matched bales, pit holes, warp tiles and more.

Clear a stage and get rated against the shortest solution. Chase the perfect run.

Great for fans of Sokoban and box-pushing puzzles, and anyone who loves calm, Japanese-style brain teasers.

Free to play. Works offline.

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people or shops is coincidental.
