SynopsisWith its exquisite photographs and richly informative text, this is simply the best, the most unique, and the most in-depth study of the ancient and popular Chinese puzzle game.

Photos show how to arrange tangram-shaped antique dinner tables for a variety of themes such as mountain ranges and celebration costumes. Among the puzzles for you to solve: Paradoxical Pairs that appear to be identical but differ in a hard-to-detect detail., Find out the incredible story behind these ever-intriguing puzzles and solve over 2000 of them yourself. Rearrange simple geometric pieces into extrordinary images and puzzling challenges.
