Tesserae
Play Tesserae online. Jump patterned tiles over compatible neighbours and combine the remaining symbols at the destination. Each move changes which jumps will still be legal, so a convenient removal can isolate a piece that you need later. Aim to leave one final tile while keeping the board connected long enough to finish. Read the symbols as components rather than simply matching pictures, and examine a tile's available destinations before confirming.
