An original puzzle fun with decorative result

Ravensburger delivers the Night Edition of the Eiffel Tower as a complete package with stand, between blocks, LED block and of course 216 puzzle pieces made of plastic, in which, however, the three AAA batteries required are missing in order to bring the tower to glow. To this end, I miss an explicit indication on the packaging and the website, so you can get the batteries in time to avoid disappointment during Offer faces. The puzzle pieces are made of sturdy plastic, fit perfectly into each other and allow a stable structure.

The base is prepared quickly for the illustrated manual. A little more expensive and fummeliger be designed to prepare the pieces of the puzzle. The corners, which are after all represented proportionally very numerous in this model, must first be bent to 90 °. Although they have a corresponding rebate, so that a clean and precise edge arises because the stones partially but are quite small and very tight, there is something dexterity required.

Then can begin the actual puzzle fun. Here I have the choice of puzzles either on the subject, which can be a challenge when the Eiffel Tower even with only 216 parts, or after the at the back of the pieces of the puzzle printed numbers and arrows that show me the order and the side of the stone, where the next piece of the puzzle is recognized. Under this method, the tower is in less than an hour to just 50 cm high and stable work of art assembled.

A weak point is the placement of the on / off of the LEDs beneath the pedestal. This means that I have to lift completely the tower in order to actuate it. Since the transparent intermediate blocks are simply plugged and can not be properly attached, you have to watch that the top of the Eiffel Tower while falling.

The idea of ​​this puzzle I find very original, the alternative Puzzle way I like and the results speak for themselves. Basically a multiple building of the tower from the material's been possible. The highlight is definitely the light which can be a real eye catcher the tower either with its original lighting or color-changing.
