How to play the game:
Lonpos is a puzzle-game with 12 colourful tetris-like shaped pieces that you must put back in the rack in a way that everything fits.
The rack is a diagonally cut square with a length of 10 molds.
Depending on your experience and age the game suggests one of 12 difficulty levels (each containing 36 situations).
At level 1 there are 2 pieces missing
At level 5 there is half the rack missing
At level 9 there are only 2 pieces set up
At level 10 the game changes to the 3D pyramid with 6 pieces missing
At level 11 the 3D pyramid has only 3 pieces set up
At level 12 the 3D pyramid has only 1 piece set up and a hint of a second piece (1/4 of the piece)
While the first levels often only have one possible solution, the later level can be solved in various ways (up to 100+ solutions for a given situation).
When playing competitively each player chooses an appropriate level. Now you roll the the dice-box (a red and a black d6) and choose the corresponding situation based on your difficulty from the book and set it up.
There is a sand glass within the components but the players may decide to end their turn when the first player finished his puzzle.
