Reviews
Woollie (Opinionated Gamers): “It’s a cute and challenging puzzle box which has kept me busy all week in my downtime at work. Given its small size, it would be perfect for travel, and I assume that is why the pieces are magnetized. If you’re a fan of these solo challenges, this would be a worthwhile pickup.”
