Puzzles that exist due to rules instead of physicality

Solitaire and Sweet 16
Solitaire [present]
For and Aft, on the box: Sweet 16 [Oxfam]
Sweet 16 is a literal translation by me. The colors have to swap sides. A peg of one color may jump acrossed one of the other color, but never backwards.

Logik
Logik und Logik 2 [present from a box of stuff that no one wanted anymore; flea market, 0,50 €, summer 2007]
Quo vadis or Which way out by Wehrfritz [flea market, 2 €, April 2007]
The two plastic sliding games where produced in GDR. Quo vadis is a variation of Logik. Internationally it is known as L'Ane Rouge (The Red Donkey). The aim is to bring the red square from the starting position to the middle of the bottom without taking the other pieces off the board. Logik 2 is better known as The Pennant Puzzle or Dad's Puzzle. The aim is to either slide the big square to the bottom right corner (easier) or the bottom left corner (harder).

Hase Hüpf
Hop Over by Haba [flea market, 1 €, summer 2007]
This game is similar to For and Aft but simpler. The Bunnies are to switch sides but may only hop forwards.

Zwirbel
Zwirbel or Pushing Puzzle by Haba [flea market, 1 €, summer 2007]
The picture is supposed "repaired" by sliding the pieces from their given positions.

Rush Hour
Rush Hour by Think Fun [birthday present 2007]
The positions of the cars are given by the playing cards. The cars can be moved forward and backward, but not sideways. The aim is to clear the road for the red car to leave the board. I also own an add-on pack.
This is somewhat similar to Logik.

River Crossing
River Crossing by Think Fun [birthday present 2007]
River Crossing is a plank puzzle. The Hiker is to be helped across the river by moving planks and connecting them to tree stumps. The add-on pack includes a dog and different tree stumps.

Tower of Hanoi
Tower of Hanoi by Haba [Oxfam, 1 €, fall 2007]
Haba calls their version Brahma. The pyrmid, which consists of six discs, is to be transfered onto another stick. Only single discs may be moved and only smaller ones on top of bigger ones. The discs may be placed on the two empty sticks as well as on the starting stick.

Magic Maths
Magic Maths by Haba [flea market, fall 2007]
The aim is to place the pegs in an way that no succesive numbers lie side by side.

XXVI Puzzle
XXVI Puzzle by Lagoon Games [flea market, 1 €, fall 2007]
The pieces are to be arranged so that each line of four pieces totals twenty six.

Crossing the River
Crossing the River by Haba [exchanged, April 2008]
This is a well known riddle. A man has to take a wolf, a goat and cabbage across the river. But in his boat is only enough room for himself and one of the three. If he leaves the wolf and the goat behind, the wolf will eat the goat. If he leaves the goat and the cabbage behind the goat will eat the cabbage. How will he manage?
