About the Game

Caber is a logic puzzle that's played on a 9 by 9 grid featuring numbered positions called "intersections". These intersections act as clues guiding the player on how to place 3 distinct types of pieces:

  • The cross reaches every position in the row or the column that intersect at its position.

  • The ex reaches every position in the diagonals that intersect at its position.

  • The circle reaches every position in the row, the column or the diagonals that intersect at its position.

To solve a Caber the player needs to find the types and positions of the 9 pieces that fulfill the following conditions:

  • No piece may be placed on a position reached by other piece.

  • Every intersection must be reached by a number of pieces equal to its number.

Caber offers the following key features to improve your experience:

  • Highlighting of new valid and invalid intersections besides the given intersections.

  • Showing of the number of pieces that cover each given intersection, whether it is under or over the number of the intersection.

  • Highlighting of the range of any piece selected on the board.

  • Highlighting of each piece whose range covers any selected square.

  • Disable any helping feature to tune the difficulty of each Caber.

  • Easily undo any move made on the board.

  • Copy any Caber and share it via IM or forum and paste any Caber your family and friends send to you.

  • Walk away and come back at any time you want, the state of the Caber will be maintained and the timer will be stopped as long as you need.

  • Show or hide the timer at any moment.

  • Interact with the game using keyboard or mouse.

  • There are multiple configuration options for your mouse buttons.

  • Maintain a history of up to 100 Cabers.

  • Mark any Caber in your history as favorite and open it in your favorites list.

  • Unlimited number of Cabers!!!!

Please enjoy!!!!
