Mind-Bending Puzzles: Cryptorunes Knowledge Cards Deck

Description
The 48 puzzles in this deck aren't garden-variety cryptograms, solvable by figuring out their systems of letter substitutions. Instead, they substitute entirely new alphabets--geometric forms; extraterrestrial-looking squiggles, animal silhouettes. To unlock their wry, funny, or insightful messages, you must begin by deducing (for instance) that the bear-shape means 'g' or that a one-eyed space alien has to be an 'h.'

Don't be daunted by these strange and brilliant puzzles. Each message comes with a plain-English clue to its writer's identity. Once you've matched the correct letters to the author's name, the puzzle will begin to give up its secret. (And if it doesn't, look on the card's reverse for a full solution!)

Cliff Pickover's Mind-Bending Puzzles Knowledge Cards include Roundabouts, Famous Name Anagrams, and Mazes and Tiles. Size: 3 1/4 x 4 inches.
