The Tangram Fury Western Book
About this book
Tangrams are ancient Chinese, ingenious puzzles. They are deceptively simple in design, yet can stump even the most seasoned of puzzlers. Then, the light clicks on and the answer suddenly seems so obvious. It’s amazing that so many puzzles can be solved with the exact same 7 shapes.The makers of the multi-player, competitive puzzle game, Tangram Fury, have come out with a series of ebooks on tangrams. The Tangram Fury Western Book has a series of puzzles representing fun images of the Old West, from cowboys and Indians, to cacti and wolves, to buffalo and boots, and more, all done up as tangram puzzles.The book is arranged to show a silhouetted puzzle, followed by its solution. When viewed in landscape mode, both the puzzle and the solution can be seen side by side to aid in comparing the two. It includes a printable pattern for cutting out tangram pieces to aid in physically solving the puzzles.Following a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or whimsical puzzles to solve, and their solutions. This is followed by tidbits and trivia about tangrams and some famous people who have tinkered with tangrams over the years. (Can you solve the unsolvable “Mad Hatter” tangram created by Lewis Carroll?) It also provides some tips and suggestions for those with a competitive streak. The text sections of the books are largely the same in all books in the series, but the heart of the book - the part that includes the tangram puzzles - remains unique.Go on!
