Kaleidoscope is truly the ultimate puzzle game. It is elegant in its simplicity, but unparalleled in its play value. It is composed of 18 pieces, each unique in size, shape and/or colour. As a puzzle these 18 pieces generate thousands of patterns. At the simplest level you spill the 18 pieces and then recreate patterns. The checkerboard is the easiest and you might be surprised how easily this is solved. However; you can now move on to one of the other designs which might take you minutes, hours or even longer! It's a lifetime of creative fun at your fingertips. You can also use the pieces as a strategy game for 2-3 players. In enKounter you use your intuition, acumen and judgement to outplay, outscore and outsmart your opponents. Place the challenge card on the base; then strategically place your pieces to overlap colours and score more points than your opponent. Breathtakingly simple, but utterly addictive!
