Finally I have done some Charles Wysocki puzzles. Now I see why they’re so popular! Even though I’m not really a fan of the images (they’re charming but not ones I really want to leave sitting out to look at for days after finishing) they sure were fun to put together, and not too difficult. Lots of interesting things going on, little details, variety of colors and visual textures. Funny to see how opinions differ on these. I’ve seen other puzzlers comment that they love the pictures but finding assembling the puzzles tedious. Some get tired of doing all the big houses and shops in the scenery, other people dread the trees. I don’t mind the houses and like
doing the foliage, but I find all the little figures of people persnickity- having to peer at the box or poster to find out who goes where, whose hand is this, whose shoes, etc. Both are
made by Buffalo Games with 1,000 pieces
“Olde Buck’s Country” and “Fireside Companions”. (I like the first one a bit better. That huge red building in “Fireside Companions” is just kinda an eyesore to me)
Finished size, 27 x 20″ each.
