Tangram Puzzle

This puzzle game is really fun and one can easily get lost in trying to solve as many as one can or in a difficult puzzle. The purpose of the tangram puzzle games is to assemble the different pieces so that they make some shape. The game comes with many puzzles (over 50) included of assorted shapes (many of them quite ingeniously arranged) and degrees of difficulty and the more difficult ones can be challenging for children and even adults. When you have completed all these puzzles, you can either try to beat your best time or you can go to the website included in the instruction manual and get more puzzles from the website. The puzzle is made of sturdy wood and the pieces are quite beautiful in a simple old-fashioned way.

This is a great thinking toy. It really makes you think about shapes and forces your brain to think more abstractly (?). The puzzle quality is really good. I had one a long time ago that was made out of plastic and I didn't like it too much. This is way better and not too expensive.

This wooden part of the puzzle came exactly as pictured, BUT it didn't include the booklet with 100 puzzle challenges as advertised. I was very disappointed as this was a gift for my kid's 5th birthday, and I was the most excited about this feature. He loves it, and likes to put the pieces together in the box, but this toy would be so much more with the booklet. What it did have was a tiny strip of paper with a black and white photocopy on it of maybe ten puzzles, and the images are so small you can't even do anything with it.The puzzle itself is great, but only three stars because of the missing booklet.*Update: I originally purchased from TN Trade (Weerachon). If you don't care about the booklet, this is fine. If you want the booklet as advertised, buy from Amazon and you'll get the right thing.

This was not as described, very disappointing, did not work for gift intended. Should have returned the item, purchased to place gift card as a challenge to get.

I gave this puzzle 5 stars because it is beautiful to look at, fits very well in the accompanying box & is easy to use. The wood pieces are thick and a pleasure to play with. Most tangram puzzle pieces I've seen are very thin. I'm very pleased with this purchase. If you like puzzles then buy this one. It will last for years.

I wish I could play with this and tell you how much I enjoyed it! I opened the box and saw well-sized, solid wood Tangrams. I closed the box to try them later, and haven't been able to get the box open since. I suppose what happened is that the top and bottom half of the box were not perfectly square, so it gets stuck shut if misaligned. I've returned it and ordered another set, but minus stars for the inconvenience.

This is an excellent tanagram. I agree with all the other comments boasting of the wooden pieces and box it comes in. The only thing thing I would offer for improvement is a booklet comes with it and it was lacking. It's a black and white, not greatly folded photocopy that doesn't show how the pieces come together. It looks like an after thought. It would be nice to have a coloful nicely printed piece to go with such a nice wooden item. I am going to order the more pricey $30 set that comes with the colorful cards. I think for children this will be more enjoyable as the brochure this comes with is not interesting at all to look at.

This game is for my sister's kids. They are going to get it on Christmas, so they haven't seen or played with it yet. However, I love playing these types of games, and since my sister asked me to purchase this, I believe her kids will enjoy it too. Was just a thrown off by how small the actual game is, as I was thinking it would be much larger. It seems well make, and the books shows lots of things that the kids can make.

Imported item, hence too expensive. Though pieces are fine and everything fits perfectly, there is nothing special about the item to demand a 2K price tag. There are other wooden tangrams available at Amazon for a fraction of this price, which are equally good.
