Kevin Sadler review of Unlawful Assembly:
“I started with this delightful puzzle by the master of sliding-move puzzles. Pelikan has constructed it from Garapa, Bubinga and Oak with wonderfully contrasting colours and a stunningly finished tray to pack the pieces into. There are 4 identical stepped pieces and a cross to fit inside the tray with the challenge being made by the fact that there is a considerable lip covering the tray making insertion of more than 3 pieces quite difficult. It is fairly easy to work out several possible square(ish) assemblies that might fit when playing outside the tray but getting them into the tray quickly gets quite confusing. The temptation is to try and squeeze one of the pieces diagonally under the lip of the tray but don’t bother – that requires force and is the wrong way to do it.
This is a great puzzle for beginners but don’t let them attempt it unsupervised. This puzzle should be in everyone’s collection!”
