Jigsaw puzzles were invented over 250 years ago and these 1000-piece puzzles should only take you about half that time to complete, which is why we’ll send you (2) different ones. These 20” x 27” puzzles feature art by famed fantasy artist Nene Thomas and are made in the USA. We’ll select from: “Dragon Witch Severeielle” with a fierce-looking red dragon perched on her shoulders; “Wind Moon” with a fairy in blue seated upon a crescent moon along with her black cat; or “Bellamaestra, Lady of Pain” featuring a black dress/armor-clad lady with her wolf and dragon. Plus, each puzzle includes a 6” x 8-1/4” mini-poster of the artwork.

This puzzle’s in our pocket, and yes, we’re excited to see it. You will be, too, because it will help you finally memorize the symbols for all of the lanthanides and actinides. Imagine a very detailed, full-color periodic table composed of (150) pieces, each of which would just about cover the thumbnail of an adult copywriter. Assembled, it’ll measure approx 6" x 4". Also comes with a 4-1/2" x 3-1/8" periodic table chart, and it all travels nicely in a clear 6” x 1” tube with a screwcap.

Care for a King-sized King of Hearts? A Jack of Huge? Try our 8" x 11" deck of playing cards. Tough to shuffle but great if you've lost your reading glasses. And just the ticket for teaching a whole class of kids to play Blackjack before the annual school trip to Vegas. Go ahead and make a house of cards taller than you are, just don't try to toss them into a hat or put one up your sleeve.

Imagine a game app, but in wood. Measures 6” x 3-1/4” x 3/8”, like an iPhone 6-Plus, but you never have to charge it and there’s no glass to break. Has (42) colorful geometric shapes in a wooden frame, and all you have to do is take the shapes out and try to fit them back in again, which is harder than it sounds, but that’s what puzzles are for.

The draw-it-yourself jigsaw puzzle, just begging to have an invitation written on it, and then be mailed to potential guests as a handful of pieces. But this 28-piece cardboard puzzle also measures a desktop or car-friendly 6-3/4" x 4-3/4" in plain white, so it's also begging to have kids add a picture for the fun of it. It's even suggesting that you mix the 336 blank pieces in a pile, explain it's a dozen pictures of an albino moose in a snowstorm puzzle, which it might very well be for all we know, and award a prize for the first finished puzzle. Note the classroom and party-friendly bulk price.

A "Beam-Bending logic game," The Laser Maze™ is from the same madmen who created laser chess.

It's nice to know that some things don't change. One is the Jacob's Ladder. Still made with (6) slabs of wood, each about 2" x 2" x 1/2", each a bright combination of colors, and all connected by a contrasting ribbon. Hold one end up and let the string of slabs dangle. When you flop the top block end for end, each lower slab in turn will flop end for end. Fascinating. Particularly if you are about 5 to 9 years old.

Then you might love these Pentomino and Tangram wooden STEM puzzles, or they might drive you mad. You pick the (12)-piece that fits in a 2-3/4” square and will reconfigure into (40) combinations, including a giraffe, elephant and butterfly; or the simple-appearing (7)-piece, also 2-3/4” square, that has (40) solutions including a swan, rabbit and dancing man. To save you from madness, they come with challenge cards that include solutions.

One thousand pieces these puzzles have. From the Star Wars Collectors Edition they are and inches 12-1/2 X 15 when finished they will measure. The Mandalorian, a Storm Trooper, Finn and Darth Vader the completed pictures are of, and two different puzzles will you get for your earth money. For Jedis, padawans and smarter droids are they suitable and at twice the price bargains they would be.
