🛠 About This Product

Each player has their own puzzle frame and set of puzzle pieces. First, a puzzle is created using 5 of the 8 large pieces. The remaining spaces are filled with the smaller filler pieces.

The five large pieces are then removed, and the puzzle frame with the loose pieces is given to the opponent. Both players start solving their puzzles at the same time. The first player to correctly replace all the pieces wins the duel.

For an extra challenge, all eight large puzzle pieces can be included, so the opponent does not know in advance which three pieces are not needed.
