When we’re not playing board games, you can usually find us working on a puzzle. There’s something satisfying about solving something that most consider too difficult to attempt. Nicole grew up with jigsaw puzzles, receiving at least one every Christmas. You make it so you can choose a custom level of difficulty each time you play. Katamino uses a wooden separator that varies the size of the playing area. The larger the area, the more difficult the challenge.
Each possible size is accompanied by a dozen or more different challenges listed in the instruction book. Using only the pieces shown, you must make them all fit into the allowed play area. Choosing a difficulty level like “Super Slam” requires you to complete the 84 Pentas shown (5 through 11, twelve of each) in order to claim victory. Included in Katamino are eight different difficulty levels, certainly enough to challenge every age group.
