The trick

Tilt the two front tiles up from the deck's front edge. Their bottom edges stay locked to the deck, so they hold at a slant like a ferry's bow ramp instead of falling flat or standing straight.

What you will need

  • 16 square tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Lay the wide deck

    Put six squares flat in two rows of three so you have a wide deck for the cars.

  2. 2. Rail the sides

    Stand three squares up along each long side to make the low walls that keep the cars aboard.

  3. 3. Close the stern

    Stand two squares up across the back to close in the tail of the ferry.

  4. 4. Raise the bow ramp

    Lean two squares up from the front edge so they slope forward like the ramp cars drive up.
