Tango: The Balance Grid

About Tango: The Balance Grid: Minimalist Logic Puzzle with Circles and Dots

Tango: The Balance Grid is a minimalist logic puzzle game inspired by the popular Tango puzzles. The goal is to fill a grid with two symbols — filled circles (●) and open circles (○) — so that every row and column holds an equal number of each. Pure deductive reasoning drives every move; guessing is not part of the design. Several scenes show small squares marked with parallel horizontal lines or an X sitting at the intersections of grid lines, serving as the visual cues that encode the relationship rules between neighboring cells. The clean design makes it a natural fit for players who enjoy brain-teasing logic challenges without visual clutter.

How to Play Tango: The Balance Grid

Every cell in the grid must be filled with either a ● or an ○. Three rules govern every valid solution:

• No more than two of the same symbol may appear consecutively in a row or column.
• Each row and each column must contain an equal number of ● and ○.
• When two cells are separated by an = sign, both must hold the same symbol type.
• When two cells are separated by a × sign, they must hold opposite symbol types.

Spotting patterns across rows, columns, and the sign constraints between cells is the path to a correct solution — no random guessing required.
