Royal Color Sorting

Royal Color Sorting challenges players to isolate vibrantly colored liquids into pure monochrome vials through strategic pouring. Each game begins with 5-7 transparent tubes containing layered liquids of multiple hues, where players may only pour the topmost liquid segment from any vial into another tube under strict constraints: the target vial must either be empty or have a matching top liquid color, and pours cannot exceed a vial’s capacity. Players take turns transferring one liquid layer at a time, carefully sequencing moves to separate colors without causing irreversible blockages. The objective is achieved when every vial contains a single uniform color from base to rim—a state known as "Royal Order." Critical rules enforce that liquids retain their discrete layers during transfers (no blending), players cannot skip turns, and intermediate containers may be used temporarily. Victory demands foresight to avoid trapping colors beneath incompatible hues, as improper sequencing may require restarting. When all vials display pristine monochromatic purity—with no mixed layers remaining—the player achieves the Crown’s Decree, mastering the alchemy of orderly separation through deliberate pouring logic.
