You must Arrange the 4 boards to form an 8x8 grid such that no queen (star shape) is repeated on any column, row, or any diagonal. In doing so you are keeping your Queens safe from attack from a chess type move where Queens can move horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.

Although the puzzle does not appear difficult, it is shockingly hard to solve, with over 12,000 orientations possible and only 1 possible solution.
Makes an excellent desk or coffee table type puzzle, because people are willing to try it and often get absorbed in it, thinking a solution is close at hand. (probably not:))

Woods used are 1/4” thick Maine hardwoods and may be Ash, Maple or Birch.
Made in our Hudson, FL shop. Based on an old design found in Robspuzzlepage.com.

Eva W. ★★★★★

Bought this as a gift for my dad who loves chess, and now we both fight over who gets to solve it. The four wooden boards are sturdy, and figuring out how to place the star-shaped queens without any two sharing a row, column, or diagonal genuinely takes a few tries.

Olivia ★★★★★

I grabbed this for my desk at work and now I keep catching myself redoing the four boards instead of checking email. The diagonal rule is what gets you, since rows and columns are easy but the stars sneak up on you from the corners. Nice little wooden set, pieces fit snug with no wobble.

Scarlett ★★★★★

My daughter and I spent a solid hour rearranging those four boards before we got every row, column and diagonal clear of queens. The wooden pieces have a nice weight and the star shapes are etched deep enough that they don't rub off. Way trickier than it looks for only four pieces.
