Fathom It!
Sounds simple, right? Like all classic puzzle games, Fathom It! is very easy to learn, but hard to master. There are starting hints on the board, i.e. exposed tiles, but the clues are still quite difficult especially on later boards. In-game help comes in the form of a built-in rule-based expert system that will provide a fully explained hint anytime, anywhere. You can learn how to solve Fathom It! boards by pressing "Start Solver" and reading the well-qualified explanations.
The shareware ("evaluation") version comes with 40 boards that should still occupy you for hours. The registered version comes with over 30,000 boards and 3 different difficulty levels. In short, Fathom It! is one of the most addictive puzzlers I've ever come across, and well worth the $19.95 price tag for the registered version. Two thumbs up!
