Opening Strategy & Walkthrough
1. Initial Border Sweep
Clear mast top arrows pointing north, then clear water line arrows below the hull.
2. Key Blocker Obstacle
Sails create vertical-horizontal crisscross locks.
3. General Arrow Logic Rule
An arrow leaves the board only when every cell between its head and the outer edge is clear of non-removed arrows. Removing one arrow unlocks the lanes behind it.
