How does a Chain ×2 gate open?

One placement must cause two separate clears. The first clear can expose a lower color; if it joins enough matching layers, that same move clears again.

Tap an occupied stack to inspect its top and next color. This explains the layers without choosing a landing hex for you.

Carry a color across the eastern score gate before the left chain narrows the board. Keep the one-use reserve for a matching color after the 1,-2 route changes. The added 1,-2 at 60 score gate delay the return.
