Buffalo Games - Charles Wysocki - The Nantucket - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

I love Charles Wysocki puzzles and this one is fun BUT, lots of pieces of the same color are also the exact same shape. they fit perfectly but belong elsewhere. I wish they would add a few more shapes to the puzzles.

We knew within 20 minutes of opening the box that there was a piece missing. The first thing my husband and I do is separate all of the straight-edge (border) pieces. Just the two of us on a table that seats eight; meaning, plenty of room. No pets, no kids, no grands. After separating the border pieces, we assemble the border. Within minutes, we thought we were missing one piece BUT, sometimes, the piece is there; its just hard to see. As we progress on the puzzle, one of us will finally see the piece. Not this time. Its missing. We started the puzzle around noon on Sunday and finished it Monday afternoon. Like I said, just the two of us in the house. The piece is missing; therefore, instead of re-working the puzzle and then donating it to the Senior Center, we will throw it away. A little frustrating.

Right amount of challenge.

We loved this puzzle but it was very challenging especially the Ark.

I pride myself in getting these done quickly, but that ARK was impossible.

There is so much variety within the picture--the hotel, the cabanas, all the people, sky, ocean. I switched from one area to another rather than completing a section before moving on. The color variation of the sand made the beach do-able and not frustrating. I love Buffalo Games puzzles and love this one more than many others.

Absolutely love buffalo games puzzles, but never fails when I purchase them from Amazon, they are 80% of the time missing the poster!

Love these puzzles! Always make me smile

I really enjoy putting puzzles together, especially when they area images by Charles Wysocki. His paintings are just, plain fun! I get caught up in all the activity going on, all the detail and the wonderful colors. Im always a little sad when I put the last piece in. But of course, the great thing is, I can take it apart, and put it back together again, sometime! Also, Ive never been disappointed with the quality of a Buffalo Games puzzle. Sturdy cardboard, clean cut puzzle pieces, and well printed images make putting these together a pleasure.

We have enjoyed the Buffalo puzzles because they include a poster to use as reference thats larger than the image on the box. This puzzle, as delivered to us, did not include the poster as described in the product literature. I hope this is a QA defect and not a change by the Buffalo folks to stop including the poster.
