Puzzle Chess – Jungle Menagerie & Space Friends

When my friend Renee came over recently, we played two rounds of Puzzle Chess. Both puzzles were 100 pieces from Ceaco, and they were so adorable! The first one we did was Jungle Menagerie. This one was very easy, and I won by quite a bit. The second one was Space Friends, which was a more difficult puzzle. Renee beat me by a few seconds on that one!

For anyone who isn’t familiar with puzzle chess, here’s how it works. You pick a small puzzle (we used 100 pieces) and you build the border together and lay out all the other pieces. Then you start a chess clock, which you can get on your phone, and take turns putting one piece into the puzzle. Once you have placed your piece, you tap your clock to end your turn and start the other person’s time. Whoever has the most time left when the puzzle is done is the winner.
