Unplugged Dilintia: Daily Puzzle
The premise of Daily Puzzle is irresistible. You have ten tiles that can be stacked and arranged to display a three-letter month abbreviation and a two-digit date. (Single-digit dates have a leading zero.) It's a desktop calendar that doubles as a game, with a different puzzle to solve every day.
It's not the most challenging game to come out of ThinkFun -- I've been playing for a couple days, and it hasn't taken me longer than a minute to finish yet. And, contrary to the packaging, it's not really 365 puzzles in one -- there are 12 monthly configurations and 31 daily configurations, for a total of 43 challenges.
Still, if you love puzzles, it's a fun thing to have on your desk. It's like an advent calendar that gives you a little mental treat day after day. If you're going to pick up something from ThinkFun anyway, it's worth tossing on top.
