Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Football and Golf are five sports just about everyone has either played or watched. From the early days of childhood or even through adult life these sports have provided some of the most exciting times in out life. We watch and now with the Ultimate Sports Puzzles collection you get to match wits and learn all at the same time.

The Baseball puzzle book is broken down into the innings of the game and there's even extra innings. The book includes over 30 crossword puzzles, also you get Cycle puzzles, Strikeout Puzzles, baseball match and upper deck puzzles. In total over 60 puzzles to keep you entertained for hours and some of the puzzle really press your knowledge of the game.

With the Hockey Puzzles you have three periods and overtime just like the game itself. You have over 35 crosswords; hockey match and hockey find puzzles, the five hole puzzles, and the cross check puzzles. As with the Baseball puzzles they are entertaining and fun and also your knowledge is pressed to the limits in some cases.

The final book I have is the Golf puzzles broken down in 18 holes and sudden death. With over 35 crosswords, golf weave, golf find, tee off, stoke play, ace and gold tangle puzzles added in making this a very good time for everyone.

Also included with my shipments was a several smaller crossword puzzle books on football, basketball, baseball, hockey and golf, each with about 15 puzzles. Overall the books are under $8.00 and make a great gift for any sports fans of any age.
