Katamino is a superb puzzle, and a challenging game. Players try to make rectangles, known as 'Penta' of varying size. They can begin with just 3 pieces or use 4, 5, 6 right up to using all 12. The more pieces they use, the harder the puzzle is making Katamino suitable for any age or ability. It has over 350 puzzle suggestions in the box and more than 36,000 'Penta' combinations.
