A very beautiful puzzle, but not the easiest for your first taste of trick puzzles. Last did this puzzle a few years back - but from memory, you need to aim for a continuous dragon body. Easier said than done. In general for trick puzzles, keep a…

Riding High is one of my favorite teasers, fun to put together, and really beautiful artwork. It is also special to me because it is one of my few puzzles where I requested personalized silhouettes. I usually go for trick puzzles, and there's rarely…

Thanks for your review, Sebastian! I really loved puzzling Riding High. I definitely agree that there is lots packed into one puzzle--lots of different cuts and techniques, and the art and colors really pull it all together. I also agree that the to…

Hi David, You are correct in your assumption that you can make a Chinese dragon. Five years - that's a long time! In case you haven't heard I take M&M bribes in exchange for hints. Peanutbutter is my favorite :-) Let me know if you want to take me…

Sebastian replied to the discussion 'Is this possible?'

My impressions - Riding High



A three sword rated teaser, Riding High is a puzzle that I have had on my wish list for a few years. It is my 8th Stave puzzle.

Now the thing that originally attracted my interest in the catalog was the artwork - which is very unusual, and intensely colourful. In person, the puzzle is a real knockout - and extraordinarily pretty.

It is quite large (mine is 165 pieces) - with many, many beautifu… Continue
