Object: Visit all three corners and the centre. To start the game, click on the board to place your token. An AREA MAZE or A-MAZE for short is a maze where you step from tile to tile, observing carefully the area of the tile you are standing on. The relative size of the area has to alternate: larger, smaller, larger, smaller, etc. So if you go from one tile to an adjacent tile with a larger area, then the next step has to be to an adjacent smaller tile. If you don't alternate or move to a tile of equal area, you lose. The world experts on mazes have confirmed that A-MAZES are a totally new class of mazes. This class of mazes has been discovered on 15 August 1999 in London by the author while looking at the woodwork of a Chinese coffee table. He attended there the 'International Puzzle Party'. Due to its novelty, there exists no literature at all on A-MAZES. A lot of nice, related problems might wait to be discovered! Also see the first A-MAZE version.
