5 out of 5 starsThis is my new favorite puzzle, so much fun to do!! It is clearly handmade, with beautiful colors, and clever cutting, including hints. The five layers added a wonderful level of challenge. It is so much better than I thought it would be. Mark is wonderful at communicating as well, and even offered me a couple of extra choices. I highly recommend this!

5 out of 5 starsThis puzzle is so beautiful and well-crafted. And the print of the map is really high definition - not fuzzy or distorted at all. Bought it for my grandfather for his 90th and he's going to love it! Thank you <3

5 out of 5 starsI basically got these to bump up my order to get the free shipping, but I use these way more than I expected. They make perfect life counters for MTG. They are easy to use, compact and look really good.

5 out of 5 starsI bought two jigsaw-style trays puzzles for my mother with dementia and they are fabulous. She loves them! They were well made and the picture quality was very good. They were made and shipped quickly. The shop owner takes pride in his work and made sure the puzzles came out well. He communicated well also. I will purchase again. Thank you very much!
