The Seal Puzzle consists of six "seal-ominoes" — 3 pentominoes and 3 tetrominoes, all enhanced with cute seal features — which must be fit into a square tray. The Seal Puzzle was Rikishi Yamada's exchange puzzle at IPP23, held in Chicago in 2003. It was designed and manufactured by prolific Japanese puzzle shop owner Naoyki Iwase. The Seal Puzzle comes assembled in its original box, complete with "sealed" solution, as received at IPP23.
I will ship The Seal Puzzle within the US via ground advantage (first class mail) for around $9.00, or if preferred, at
insured priority mail pricing
(from between
$9.90 and $14.25, depending on postal code). I am happy
to ship
internationally at cost — expected to be around $30 for an item this size — but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked.
Please let me know if you have any questions about The Seal Puzzle.
Thank you for viewing my auction!
