wood
1,000 pieces including 100 whimsies, new and complete
51.9 x 37.5 cm
2022 piece count: 9,034
puzzle no: 11
Thanks to my flickr friend Maria Herold we were made aware of Trefl's venture into wooden puzzles, so of course we had to get hold of one! It wasn't difficult to make a choice: this Ancient World Map stood out from all the other images. First impressions were good: eco-friendly packaging (for example pieces are packed inside a brown paper bag rather than plastic) and small but nicely printed pieces. We were amazed to find 100 whimsies - all different - and an attractive all-over design on the reverse.
It was just intricate enough to take a few days to complete, possibly because of its smaller-than-usual size: it was difficult to read a lot of the map's lettering so we had to rely on shapes alone. That's not a problem for me, more often than not I don't get a look-in with the box lid picture, but Mike likes to follow (hog!) the box lid image and therefore struggled a little. But we got there, finishing late yesterday evening.
So what's our overall verdict? Very favourable; don't expect a fast finish unless you're a real expert, take your time and relish the beauty of this puzzle because it will reward you in so many ways.
Definitely a 'keeper'!
