SUMMARY- Mr. Yegeng was a retired public servant who decided to expand the traditional 7-piece tangram puzzle to add new shapes - this was in 1878. I was deeply curious, as I had only ever played with the 7-piece set. I wasn't nearly as taken with this as I thought I would be - I actually prefer the traditional puzzle. Your mileage may, of course, vary. This kit comes with a lovely wooden puzzle set in a cloth bag, a book with 460 puzzle configurations, and the box to keep it all together in.
