There are 190 pieces of two shapes - 115 'fat hens' and 75 'skinny roosters', plus 5 'rogue dogs'. The tiles are precision-made in high quality plastic; the supplied 24 inch square (60cm) base board (which gives the approximate size of the finished tiling) is very sturdy and conveniently stores in four pieces.
Unlike conventional puzzles, where only one piece fits properly into a particular place in the puzzle, in Perplexing Poultry each piece fits into every other piece - and can do so in several ways!
There are six distinct levels of difficulty with Perplexing Poultry. The first level is where the player uses the bird shapes only. As the player increases in ability, the five dog pieces may be added one by one. Each time a dog is added, Perplexing Poultry becomes progressively more perplexing! There are over 40 solutions in all!
