Eames House of Cards Fantasy is a 1500-piece puzzle from Ravensburger, and it was designed by collage artist Shelley Davies to commemorate Eames’ 80th anniversary.
Best known for their groundbreaking furniture designs, Charles and Ray Eames also developed a number of iconic toys. The first edition of their House of Cards was introduced in the US in the 1950s, and it has continued through several iterations since then. This building toy is a deck of picture cards, each with six slits allowing them to be built in many different shapes and sizes.
This puzzle was a lot of fun to put together. There were so many interesting patterns and intriguing little details. The Ravensburger quality is so good, of course, and because it was secondhand, I didn’t even have to deal with the puzzle dust they are so infamous for.
This was also my first 1500-piece puzzle. I have done one 2000-piece, but usually I do 1000-pieces or less. I would be open to doing more large count puzzles if the image is good and doesn’t have a lot of solid color areas.
