This puzzle is fascinating to my kids. As you can see from the picture, each side of the black and white square can be all black, all white, or split black/white or white/black. The object is to match sides and create a square using all of the pieces.

Granted, we rarely build the entire puzzle using all the pieces - in fact, we've probably lost a handful. But the kids just build as far as they can, they like trying to match up sides, particularly when they must match up 2 or more sides. Sometimes they'll race each other, to see who is first to build a 5x5 puzzle, but usually this game is a cooperative effort to see how many pieces they can place.

I love this game because it can productively entertain the kids for 15-20 minutes, I enjoy helping them, and it's a great value b/c you can lose some pieces and still play it. Plus it is portable; we often keep it in our "wait bag".

I purcahsed this puzzle for use in my middle school classroom. The kids are struggling with it but are intrigues. This is not for the faint of heart. But does make them think.
