Phones and computers

Ferry Queue is a boat parking puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

You tap ferries with open water ahead to sail them out of a packed marina into three berths, where waiting passengers board by colour and full ferries leave. Only the next six passengers in the queue are shown. If all three berths are taken and the front passenger fits none, the harbour jams and you try again.

Tips

Count colours among the six visible passengers before berthing: a ferry leaves only with three aboard, so a colour with one passenger coming ties up a berth.
The front passenger boards the earliest-berthed ferry of their colour, so two ferries of one colour fill one after the other rather than sharing the queue.
At least one first move always keeps a harbour solvable, and from harbour 6 at least one first move leads to a jam later, so the opening choice matters most.

What causes a jam in Ferry Queue?

A jam happens when all three berths hold ferries and the passenger at the front of the queue matches none of them. Nothing can board and no berth can free up, so the harbour is over and you play it again. A ferry with open water ahead can always sail out as long as a berth is empty.

Can I see the whole passenger queue?

No. Only the next six passengers are drawn, each with a colour and a mark, and a counter beside them says how many more are waiting. Passengers board strictly in order, so the sixth one shown is the furthest you can plan for with certainty. The end card shows how many were left when a harbour jammed.
