“Meditating Skeleton” by Ryoko, from Artifact<\/a>. Super fun! I really liked the irregular border. The base puzzle shape was a skull, with little heart-shaped bone socket connectors. I’ve had this puzzle since April 2022, and just hadn’t gotten around to it, but I’m so glad I finally did. The back makes me think very much of a wall of skulls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
