Archimedes’ Ostomachion

Ostomachion consists of a square divided into 14 geometric pieces. All the pieces can be used to reassemble the square or form other figures.

Archimedes’ mathematical problem of the same name examines the pieces’ areas and combinations. In the game, moving, rotating and flipping preserve each piece’s shape and area while changing how it fits beside the others.
