Khun Phaen
The object of the game is for Khun Phaen, symbolised by the large square piece, to escape his prison through the slot by sliding all pieces horizontally or vertically.
The puzzle is inspired by a Thai epic romance based on the folklore of two men, the comedic but scheeming squire, Khun Chang and the heroic but womanising warrior, Khun Phaen, during the Ayutthaya period (roughly between the 14th and 18th centuries). Childhood friends and later competitors, the story follows their tragic love triangle with the heroine named Wanthong. The ensuing troubles land Khun Phaen repeatedly in jail, as he plots his escape...
