Hua Rong Path

Hua Rong Path, also known as the Sliding Block Puzzle, is based upon the legendary Battle of the Red Cliffs in the Warring States Period. Cao Cao, leader of the losing party in the battle, managed to escape through this path. So the purpose of this puzzle game is to move Cao Cao, represented by the largest block, to the cut-out in the bottom of the puzzle frame, which is to create a life path for Cao Cao through moving other pieces. The other pieces feature four soldiers (represented by four small squares) and five generals (represented by five rectangles).
