About

Queen Sweeper

Features
Read full description

Queen Sweeper is a strategic puzzle game where players must use logic, observation, and planning to uncover the correct queen placements on the board. The board is divided into differently colored tile groups, and your objective is to place one queen in each group. The twist is that queens cannot share the same row or column, and they also cannot touch each other. To succeed, you’ll need to plan carefully and make each move with intention. Simple to begin, yet deeply satisfying to master, Queen Sweeper is the kind of puzzle game that fits perfectly into a quick break while still keeping you coming back for more.
