This game is like a cross between the sliding block puzzles we used to keep in our pockets and jigsaws with straight-edged pieces!

The aim is to reconstruct a picture from the jumbled pieces. There are three programs in the pack and four pictures in each program, so there is a good, gradual difficulty gradient. Each puzzle can also be played in set numbers of moves and against the clock

If you decide to play against the clock, then a slow move means that a random exchange is made. This can undo some of your previous good work and makes the program that much more interesting.

Beyond that, there is very little to say. It works well enough and the pictures are acceptable but not thrilling.

If mental geometry is your thing, then this might be for you - otherwise, buy a jigsaw.
