Description
Elemental Runes – Advanced Packing Puzzle
Elemental Runes is a packing puzzle designed by Jonathan Borders and produced by Team JB Hobbies. Four brightly colored rune pieces represent fire, earth, water and air against a black tray.
Fit all four pieces flat within the tray without force. This is a physical arrangement challenge that can stand alone or serve as a tabletop role-playing puzzle.
Jonathan Borders adapted the design with inspiration from Jürgen Reiche. The elemental theme was created for use in fantasy role-playing campaigns; this archive entry makes no official game-license claim.
