A group of puzzles sourced from India made from Sheesham wood.

Dicey 9 piece spotted 3D packing puzzle Dicey 9 piece spotted 3D packing puzzle

Brick sticks 15 piece diagonal burr puzzle Brick sticks 15 piece diagonal burr puzzle


QTY:





The object is to assemble the 15 piece diagonal interlocking burr puzzle.

Using diagonally oriented wooden pieces has been a distinct feature of wooden interlocking puzzles made in Finland for over 100 years. The National Museum in Helsinki exhibits a diagonal burr made around 1910 but it is known that as early as 1888 Chandler patented a 13 piece diagonal burr.

We expect this 15 piece version to be quite a handful. It has a slight change on original Finnish design which helps lock the puzzle together.

QTY:





Start with the centre position emply and balls on all other positions on the board. The object of the Solitaire puzzle, often known as Peg Solitaire to distinguish it from the card game also called Solitaire, is to remove the balls one after the other by jumping horizontally or vertically over another ball.

Puzzle comes nicely boxed with balls separately packaged inside to avoid damage to the board during transport.
