The variety of square sizes and the challenge of keeping same-colored pieces apart make every placement a thoughtful decision. With two distinct solutions, this puzzle offers replay value and the satisfaction of mastering its constraints. The combination of Ash, Wenge, Acacia, and Padauk woods not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes each piece a pleasure to handle.
