Jeu de taquin

Jeu de Taquin is a puzzle game that is like a sliding puzzle. Imagine that you have a big square puzzle with many smaller squares inside it. Each square has a picture on it, but the pictures are all mixed up and jumbled around.

In Jeu de Taquin, the goal is to slide the squares around until all of the pictures match up and are in the correct order. You can only slide one square at a time (like moving a piece in a chess game), and you can only slide it into an empty space next to it.

It's kind of like trying to move furniture around in a room, but you can only move one piece at a time and it has to fit in a specific spot. The game can be challenging because you have to think about each move and how it will affect the rest of the puzzle.

People enjoy playing Jeu de Taquin because it is a fun way to exercise their brain and to problem-solve. It's also a great way to pass the time and can be played on a computer or on a physical game board.
