The Pentomino Chess Puzzle is a brilliant mathematical puzzle that offers a truly unique challenge - with thousands of solutions on top of that! The puzzle is made up of 13 pieces: 12 pieces are formed from 5 cubes in different shapes and one square piece with 4 cubes. The main objective of the puzzle is to assemble a checkered square inside the frame using all the pieces. There are 64 different ways to solve the board, but only one solution with an alternating color arrangement - like a chess board!
Once you’ve built the checkerboard, can you construct a 4x4x4 cube? Want even more challenges? There are hundreds of other shapes to form with these pentomino cubes. Try configuring letters of the alphabet, geometric shapes, animals, and anything your imagination can dream up. Difficulty levels vary depending on the shape, so there is a challenge for every skill level and age. The Pentomino Chess Puzzle is an amazing value compared with the challenges and hours of entertainment it provides.
Our Pentomino Set can be gifted to adults and children aged 7 and up, and it comes in an ornate, wooden box with a lid for safekeeping and travel.
