Drag stone wedges so the taper angles close the arch exactly
An arch is held up by its angles, and Piazzo Blocks turns that into a puzzle you solve with your hands.
A mason's tray sits beside an unfinished arch. You drag tapered stone wedges out of it, one at a time, onto the growing end of the chain. Each wedge turns the curve by its own taper angle: a fat taper swings the arch over quickly, a slim one barely nudges it. The HUD keeps a running count of how many degrees of turn you still have to spend, so you always know how far there is to go and how little room is left for a wrong pick.
The arch only stands when two things are true at once. Every slot in the chain has to be filled, and the taper angles have to add up exactly, closing the final wedge onto the far pier with nothing left over. Come up short or overshoot and the span never seats.
Fifteen levels pull that idea apart. Trays hold decoy wedges whose angles look close enough to tempt you. Piers sit at unequal heights, so the curve has to climb as it turns. Pointed arches, drawn from two separate middles, ask you to change the rule halfway up the span.
No timer, no hurry. Pick the stones, spend the degrees, close the arch.
