Instructions
Culvert Crew
Water starts creeping out of a spout in a few seconds. Lay pipe ahead of it, one piece at a time from the queue, and keep the water moving. Fill the quota and the site is cleared for the next one, with faster water.

- P to pause.

Maker’s note
Straights, corners and crosses; a cross used twice scores a bonus. Laying a piece over an unfilled one costs two points, so a bin square is a real strategy. Rocks and the spout come from a seed, so a daily run is the same site for everyone.
