Review on Colorful Venice 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle By Colorcraft by Kelly Burton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than I expected

Enjoyed more than I expected. The pieces are mostly the standard 1/2/3/4 knob shapes, nothing exotic, but within those shapes there's a lot of variation, which I quite like (e.g. size variation; rounded vs. pointy corners; etc.) For example, the featureless blue sky was easier than I expected, since I could often eyeball (elements of) the piece shapes/sizes. Those commentors complaining that pieces fit where they don't belong are just dummies – due to this shape/size variety, that problem basically never arises if you pay close attention to the fit.The only dumb thing, which isn't immediately obvious from the picture, is that the pedestrians are all blurred out. I'm sure they would've been fine just blurring the faces – or really, just take 2 or 3 pictures at slightly different times and use them to photoshop out the pedestrians. It's not a big deal, but the blurred people look stupid and are unsatisfying to assemble.

Pros
  • Great for improving hand-eye coordination
Cons
  • May lack satisfying snap-together design
