Think outside the box! Starfish Sammy Tower of Triangles, Three Blind Dice, and Bee-hold.

Beginning with the game of Queen's Standoff on the cover - a one- or two player challenge inspired by the game of chess - here are 23 ingenious puzzles based on patterns that stretch the mind.

Guide a tricky laser beam through six blue boxes, discover the difference between perfect, and imperfect squares, decipher codes, test a friend's perceptions, play with polygons. And prove the famous Pythagorean Theorem.

Bring a pencil, but remember - (1) you don't have to be a whiz to play, because (2) the most important skills you'll need are curiosity and an open mind. (Solutions and explanations are provided, of course!)
