How to play Joining Hands on Mac

Game summary
In Joining Hands the player places creatures named 'peablins' on a board of hexagons. Each peablin has 1 to 6 hands each; when two peablins are adjacent to each other, they join hands. If all hands of a peablin are joined, the peablin is happy.
But there are other kinds of peablins -- some can move their hands, some cannot; some cannot be moved at all; some are only happy if they have no neighbors, while others scare adjacent peablins. The game contains over 150 boards, with all kinds of shapes and restrictions. The goal of the game is to place the peablins so all their hands are joined (if possible, collecting stars in the process).

Play Joining Hands on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Joining Hands on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
