Editorial Review

According to legend, a Chinese man dropped a square tile and it broke into seven straight-sided pieces. In the generations since, this small event has caused more headaches and more delight than any other chance domestic breakage in human history, as generations of people discover just how many ways those pieces can be put back together. Thousands of combinations are possible--birds, fish, houses, guns, frowning faces, smiling faces, you name it--and 70 are illustrated here on cards that have a complete figure on one side and the solution (how it was created) on the other. This is a unique game in that it really has no rules, beyond "see if you can do this one." --Richard Farr

This is hours of fun and quite a challenge! It's a great feeling when you configure one of the shapes in the booklet. It's great for abstract thinkers ... and for those left-brainers who want to exercise their right brain! There are so many different puzzles, you can play with it endlessly. The kids love it too, although it's pretty difficult. I think you should buy two and have contests - who can figure out the puzzle in less time. I love it! The only problem is that the shapes are different colors. A better version of this puzzle/game has all black shapes.
