This here puzzle was probably the oldest puzzle in my to-assemble collection that I had been feeling kind of guilty about not reaching for it. Yesterday, I told myself that I was going to finally put it together! See if it was complete and remind myself that it’s not actually that hard, this concept is pretty fun, as a matter of fact!
Now, I’m going to tell you right now…. if you have this puzzle and do not want to know the final solution, I suggest you go and assemble your copy then come back and read the rest of this post. There will be spoiler photos below this point.
You have been warned!
Voila! Here is the final image, and this time I did pretty well. I really struggled with the Beach one, but I think the building ones were more successful, at least they made more sense for me.
Anyway, I mentioned that this was my oldest puzzle in the the needs to be assembled collection. There’s always a risk that a second hand puzzle may be missing pieces, sometimes, I don’t want to find out right away. Sometimes, I delay the assembly so long, that it becomes a much bigger task than it actually is. Go figure. I bought this on my birthday three and a half years ago. So I’d say that it’s time on the puzzle board was overdue.
And, I had a great afternoon putting it together. The conversations made much more sense than the beachy puzzle did to me, so when I flipped it over to check the key on the back, I only had two conversation tiles mixed up! So that felt pretty good to me. If you’re not aware of the concept of these talking Jigsaw Puzzles from Buffalo Games, see my first post from this puzzle series – The Hospital. Or of course you can read the cover of the box in the photo below!
This is a complete 560 piece puzzle from Buffalo Games in 1991, with a unique add-on to the jigsaw puzzling aspect that is pretty fun, if I do say so, myself! This copy is complete and in wonderful condition!
