Nancy Drew: The Secret of the Old Clock Hints
How do I win Bard Bounce?
1 of 5: The point of the game is to put the men with the women who are the same color -- that is, green with green, red with red, and so on.
2 of 5: The man pieces move as far as possible with each move. That is, if you move a piece up and there's nothing in its path, it will go to the top wall. You can't stop in the middle unless there's another piece in the way.
3 of 5: So getting the pieces where you want them is a matter of moving other pieces in the way. Have a look at the board and see what you can figure out. Notice that the pieces don't lock in place when you put them where they belong; you can still move them around if you need to.
4 of 5: If you get really messed up, back away and start Bard Bounce; it'll cost you a nickel every time, but that's life. If you don't want to spend the money, save your game before you start and reload if you want to replay.
5 of 5: There are lots of ways to win Bard Bounce, but here are solutions if you need them.
