Review of
Quintillions, A Set of Solid Pentominoes created by
Kadon Enterprises
This is a set of solid pentominoes where the squares
are approximately ¾ of an inch thick. The craftmanship is extraordinary, all of
the edges and faces are as smooth as possible and the grain of the wood is very
attractive.
The set comes
with a folding grid for the pentominoes that is 9 by 12, giving the “player”
great flexibility in how they put the pieces together. The package contains a
63 page booklet of structures that can be made from the set. As is normally the
case, there is a wide difference in the difficulty of the problems, some are
three-dimensional structures.
There are hours
of challenging fun inherent in this collection, the pentominoes are the ideal
set of polyominoes, there are enough of them to make it interesting but not so
many as to be impossible. While few toys can double as a work of art, this is
definitely one of them.
