In Landlock, strategy rules! Take turns placing tiles next
to one another, until lo and behold, you've created a magic
place where critters skitter and gnomes roam. Make a continuous
path or stream around Landlock and you score big points.
Discover a dragon or match up gnomes for extra credit. But
watch out... your opponent will try to stop you in your
tracks. The player with the highest score rules the land.
While no one is sure whether or not the Legend of Landlock
is real, we do know that you use some very real skills to
make the world come alive. While playing, you employ a variety
of complex-thinking skills like visual discrimination and
spatial relations to achieve your goal. "Does this tile
fit better here or over there? What if I turn it another
way?" At the same time, you learn the importance of thinking
ahead before you play. "How will this move affect my next
move?" As you get better at mastering the subtle strategies
of the game, try to develop other ways to play.
