Review on 1000 Piece Animal Puzzle Color Challenge Round Mandala Cat Jigsaw Puzzle - Bgraamiens Puzzles Mandala Cat Edition by Roger Weinmunson

This is a great departure from the standard mandala puzzles on the market. I was definitely drawn to the Mandala Cat right away and hope to see Bgraamiens featuring more animals in their mandalas or even Zentangle which is one of my favorite hobbies. As usual, Bgraamiens quality is very high. The pieces are a nice thickness, sturdy and quite good at matching the box in terms of colors. The puzzle comes with a full size poster. I don't usually use the poster when making a puzzle but I did for this one. The puzzle has letters on the back which will help novice puzzlers when sorting the puzzle. I noticed more letters on the back of this one. I believe A through L. I only used the letters for the edge pieces which had the same design but then did not sort using the letters for the rest of the puzzle. I found that the two flower sections were very easy as was the light pink color. Other sections were a bit more challenging. I perservered but for some if a color or pattern sort is not enough, you can always flip some pieces over and sort by letter. Bgraamiens has become the go to brand for these mandala type puzzles and others that are on the challenging end of the spectrum.
