I posted our second set of "weekly" Flummoxagon puzzles. For now, we're doing this completely manually. These 2 puzzles focus on the 2-hex piece. The small pieces tend to be tricky because they can fit anywhere, so we didn't include them in any of our initial puzzles

We have finally released our new puzzle, the Flummoxagon! We've done more tweaking and playtesting on this than any other puzzle, and I think we've managed to make a unique and addictive game. It's turned into something completely different from our original idea

I have been play testing our new puzzle which is _NOT_ a jigsaw puzzle. It’s been super fun. How long do you think should an easy puzzle take? What should each one of these sets of tiles be called? Internally we’ve been calling them scenarios but also considered “board” or just “puzzle”
