"The challenge of the Tangram is to use seven basic geometric shapes to construct a 'picture.' The rules are simple--all the pieces must be used and they cannot overlap--but each puzzle offers ample challenges to your mental agility. With its beautiful wood tans and storage tray and a fully illustrated book of Tangram history and nearly 700 puzzles, The Tao of Tangram is the ultimate way to master this ancient art."--from the publisher.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a beautiful set with an interesting

First, this is a beautiful set with an interesting, well-illustrated book. Great as a gift for adults. While the style is very much oriented to adults, though, it's a great gift for kids, too. I gave this to my 5-year-old and 7-year-old, and they absolutely love it! They are amazed at how hard it is to do the puzzles (which seem so simple in concept), and the book, which has hundreds of puzzles, is like a tantalizing menu to kids. Imagine a stack of hundreds of jigsaw puzzles-- but you get the equivalent fun & challenge of that in just this little set. It's also something you can do with your kids, while enjoying it yourself-- these things are really challenging, and a lot of fun to do as a group effort!

Tried this game at a friend’s place. Started searching for this on Amazon. Came across a lot of options and majority of those were either small/ without any mention of the accompanying notebook with different designs.

This was one of the few that was of an ideal size, good reviews and with the guide notebook. Got this as a gift for my wife and she’s loving it.

Tangram is a wonderful way for people of every age and background to stimulate their minds in a very challenging yet enjoyable way. This particular version is very well made. The pieces have a very nice tactile feel and the booklet is very informative. The price is more than worth it and it makes a great gift too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book is nice, but...

This is a set of the book and wooden tangram. But I've just got the book only, without tangram.
I also mention that this book takes one month to reach me living in Japan.
At the same time, I also order the different book to the other shop, and the book comes to me in a week.

This a great set. The book talks about the history of the Tangram and includes numerous puzzles and solutions. Hours, and I mean hours, can be spent doing these puzzles.
