Title: I found Little Chicago!
Post by: Ophidimancer on February 28, 2011, 04:03:41 PM

I saw it in a store window this morning! (http://www.backtobasicstoys.com/1/1/1393-chicago-4d-puzzle.html)  Might be an interesting prop for a Chicago based game, or just for kicks.

Nice.
For the ultimate dresden fans who want to decorate their own basement laboratory...  ;D

I like how it's 4D for some reason. This puzzle occupies time as well as space! Wait that actually makes sense to a degree. :)

I do love stuff like that though. It looks cool.

i think they are trying to distinguish it from a 3d puzzle (which maybe TM Milton Bradley)... or because there is a flat puzzle with the buildings being a puzzle on top of that one...or just simply shenanigans.

My group uses a large AAA map taped to the wall lol

They call it a Time Puzzle because you're supposed to be able to see different time periods of Chicago.  I'm not sure how, maybe the buildings switch out?  It would have been perfect for our time hopping Changeling game that was set in Chicago.

They have one for New York  (http://www.amazon.com/Cityscape-York-City-Skyline-Puzzle/dp/B002T1HG82)as well! Sadly, I couldn't find one for San Francisco (just the Golden Gate and the Painted Ladies).
