New Wasgij: Original #24, Back To #2, and Christmas #12!
I found three new Wasgij puzzles on the web today. I love Wasgij puzzles and I’m always happy to see new ones. These should be available in the US in short order. For those who have never done a Wasgij, the idea is that the puzzle you assemble is not the box image, but some spin on the box image. WASGIJ ORIGINAL #24: “A Very Merry Holiday”, 1000 pieces In this puzzle, the image you assemble is a “180 degreesRead more

Below are my favorites. “Pony and Pals” by Jack Williams, 750 or 300 pieces This is the only new shaped puzzle in the offering, which is a little disappointing.

Buffalo Games: New Puzzles Feb 2016
Buffalo Games has been releasing so many great puzzles! I really love the brand too. There are most new ones up on their site. “A Peach of a Day” by Charles Wysocki, 300 pieces Buffalo makes Wysocki puzzles in various sizes. Usually when they release one in 300 pieces I’m bummed because I don’t normally buy anything below 500. It just goes so fast it’s not worth it. I absolutely love this ‘view out the window’ image, so I hopeRead more

The box has an attractive closerRead more
