A deceptively simple puzzle with a devilish twist.

Simple rules. Surprisingly tricky solution.

Harper ★★★★★

The wooden pieces have a nice weight to them and fit together with a satisfying little click. I got the checkerboard pattern on my fourth try, and now I keep handing it to guests just to watch them struggle.

Scarlett S. ★★★★★

I figured this would take ten minutes and it ended up eating my whole Saturday afternoon. The wooden pieces are cut precisely enough that the checkerboard only locks in one way, and finding that way is genuinely satisfying. Great little desk puzzle for anyone who likes being humbled.

Edward ★★★★★

The pieces look so similar at first that I figured this would take ten minutes — two hours later I was still rearranging them into that perfect checkerboard. The wood has a nice weight to it and the pieces slide in satisfyingly once they finally click. Genuinely humbling little puzzle.
