A spirited journey through the world of collectible artisan puzzles
Pairing craft cocktails with crafty puzzles
The Devil’s Advocate
There’s a chill in the air and the dark creeps in a little sooner, a little longer, stretching the shadows and turning all things spooky.
Animal Cruelty
The story begins in 1975, when the Japanese amusement ride company TOGO released Mogura Taij (Mole Buster), a franticly fun mole smashing game invented by Kazuo Yamada.
Heart of the Matter
The Golem is a pervasive mythical guardian which appears time and again in various fantasy lore, originating with Jewish myth and mysticism.
It’s About Time
It’s that time of year again, when we all get to reminisce about a year gone by, and contemplate what’s next on the horizon, if we are lucky and fortunate to still be here.
Index Case
An index case, also referred to as “patient zero”, is the first documented patient in a disease epidemic within a population, or the first documented patient included in an epidemiological study.
Domino Box (Stickman 16)
From the Latin dominus, “master of the house”, we have the English word for an ancient game of tiles that was invented in China sometime in the twelfth century.
Perpetual Hinge
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can not be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The second law relates to entropy, stating that any system will move toward a state of disorder. These two laws should suggest that the mythical “perpetual motion machine”, a device that works via its own contained mechanics, forever, is an impossibility.
