Based on the ancient Chinese tangram puzzle, Shape by Shape is an absorbing puzzle that requires fitting 14 pieces inside a puzzle frame. Which is not quite as simple as it sounds. Players are challenged to match the image on each of 60 cards using six red pieces to form the card's subject and eight yellow pieces to form its background. If needed, hints on the back of each card will aid the player. In addition to the 60 puzzles provided there are 27,268 ways to arrange the pieces inside the puzzle frame. This compact, nicely designed game includes a plastic drawer below the puzzle frame to hold the cards. For one player, ages eight and up. |
