When disaster strikes and the cellular grid goes down, how do you talk to Grandma? Help connect Grandma to the family by connecting a series of wires for the old landline connection. Random layouts with each game and several skills levels to master as you move colored wire tiles to make a complete landline circuit.

Landline - The cellular network is down and all modern electronic phones don’t work. Worried about Grandma, you must connect the old Landline grid for the family to contact her by phone.

The game uses 72 - 2”x2” tiles that are randomly placed and must be moved and stacked to make a complete wired circuit from Grandma to the Family. The main objective of Landline is to connect the Grandma tile to the Family tile..

Landline is played by moving and stacking tiles to create the wired circuit. Only the outermost tile from any side can be moved, either top, bottom, right or left side. Once you move a tile the remaining space is considered EMPTY and you may not fill it with another tile.

You win the game when the Landline circuit is completed by connecting Grandma with the Family and you have used all Junction Box tiles in the circuit.
