Description

Arrange the cleverly designed tiles (printed on glossy stiff cardboard) to create an astronomically large number of varied continuous landscapes--nearly 1.7 x 10²⁴ possibilities according to the package! Apparently it's a reproduction of a lithographed early 19th-century European puzzle. This edition was published in Germany in 1977.

The set originally contained 24 tiles, but tragically only 23 are now present, so I have to admit the set is incomplete. Still, the one missing tile does not make a significant dent in the possibilities--you still won't get through more than a few ppm of them in a lifetime.

The purchase price includes free USPS shipping to a U.S. address. Sorry, but due to regrettable customs policies, I will ship outside the U.S. only if inquiry and arrangements for additional fees and postage are made more than 24 hours before the end of the auction.
