This week's puzzle is actually a three in one! Cluster Puzzles "Figments," "Animals," and "Doodles."
Cluster Puzzles were created by artist/designer Alex Palmer and my edition was published by Cadaco sometime between 1977 and 1988.
Each of these puzzles has a common theme in that they have no straight edge border, all irregularly shaped pieces, no full image on the box, and a clue card to help fit each piece together with one other.
Examples of the clue card might include "Giraffe: I'm glad I have the Squirrel to help hold up my neck."
All three of them finish off rectangular-ish in shape. The pieces of thin and often slide over each other while placing more complicated pieces into small groves. They were a challenge and without the clue cards, I doubt I would have stuck with all three of them.
