The Puzzle Carpet

Der Ratselhafte Teppich

Le Tapis Mysterieux

Brain-Teaser Puzzle with instructions in English, German and French.

A large colourful carpet puzzles the player at first as it needs to be knotted together using 64 tiles, which have to be arranged to form a square 8 x 8.

It is easy to start with - two large animal shapes are assemble using ten cards and it doesn't matter where these are placed - they can be upsode down, alongside each other or on top of each other, however you like.

At this point the puzzle becomes difficult. 28 of the 64 pieces have a light coloured pattern, and these form the border of the carpet. However, the small figures on these border pieces, as well as on the remaining pieces, must match up. All cards must be used, without leaving any of the half figures unmatched.

Patience, trial and error, varying combinations, as well as applying logic, will lead to success. There are several hundred alternative solutions and each variation presents the player with a new puzzle.

Excellent condition - hardly used and like new. See photos - all photos show actual item.

Lovely Christmas present for a puzzle fan.
