Color Block Jam Reading Order for a Busy Board

Why start with destinations?

Destinations show what the board is trying to make accessible. Starting with a random block creates local movement without a global route.

What comes next?

Trace keys and gates, mark shared lanes, and find the blockers on the most constrained route. Only then choose a first move.

How do you keep the order during play?

After each state change, rescan the changed destination and lane. A consistent reading order prevents old assumptions from controlling a new board state.
