“Party by Klaas Jan Damstra is a wonderfully picturesque puzzle with a burr appearing to float in the middle of a frame. Just a three piece burr held in an open cubic cage, how hard can it be? Well, let me tell you that it's part simple, part tough and completely fun… just like a party should be. In most good parties there should be dancing and that's just what we have. The disassembly sees the three pieces moving around and about each other in a fun way with a few but not too many choices to lead you astray. I had an interesting and promising conformation and rotated the puzzle to look at the back when a piece dropped out onto the bemused cat on my lap. Needless to say, it didn't stay in the starting orientation! After a few more moves the remaining pieces were out and at that point I had a wonderful realisation…all of them were identical! Wow! What a lovely design. The real challenge comes later. Having scrambled (even if by accident) the pieces, the reassembly is a really pleasant but doable puzzle. It took me about 45 minutes and left me with a big grin – I finally had solved something and really enjoyed the process. This puzzle is available in several choices of wood. I chose Maple frame with Ovangkol which has a gorgeous grain but it is also available with Purpleheart or Wenge pieces. All are lovely! Well worth a place in your collection.”
