Who doesn’t love a good puzzle? They are a great way to exercise your brain while you create something beautiful. Admittedly they aren’t actually games, but they are close enough to make games Wednesday.
I’ve done a whole collection of horse game posts, from flash games online to video games to board & card games, but I think the puzzles are my favorite. Whether you are alone or with a whole group finishing a puzzle means you have made an accomplishment and you have something to show for it. I’ve provided a brief description & links to where they can be found on Amazon.
Puzzler pro tip – get yourself some Mod Podge in matte or gloss finish to save your masterpiece when you are finished.
