  Cookie - Wooden Brain Teaser Puzzle

Okay, so... there was a mistake at the Chocolate Chip Cookie Factory.

All the cookies made at the bakery had 10 chocolate chips. Unfortunately, the cookie you got had only 9.
When you realize it, you asked the baker to give you a different cookie, but they were all sold. He decided to give you the 1 missing chocolate chip.

Now you have the cookie and the 10 chocolate chips, but can you find the way to perfectly fit the extra chocolate chip in the cookie you have?

This packing problem puzzle has 10 pieces (the cookie) and 10 chocolate chips (wooden balls).
A large version and very fun to play.

  You Are Going To LOVE These New Strategy Games!

Pylos Classic - Wooden Strategy Game by Gigamic 

This is an awarded game of two players with 15 marbles each.

They take turns to make a pyramid. Simple rules allow them to save their marbles. The winner is the player who saves the most marbles and is thus the last to complete the pyramid.
With just four rules, this simple but elegant game from France's legendary Gigamic is easy to learn, and each full game of Pylos takes only 10 or 20 minutes to complete. But its simplicity is deceptive.

The game recognized by Games Magazine's Top 100, Mensa's Top Five Best Games, the Parents' Choice Gold Awards, and France's Oscar du Jouet and As d'Or falls into that "minutes to learn, a lifetime to master" family of games, like chess or Go.

Players stack 1-inch-wide wooden balls (light and dark) on a 9 by 9 inch board to form a pyramid, and whoever places the top ball wins. But clever rules concerning moving and removing the balls will have you second guessing and thinking ahead to formulate the perfect strategy. 

And.... Even More Strategy Games...
