Puzzle #51 of 2023
Finished September 29, 2023
I am unclear the difference between UK and US Ravensburger My Haven puzzles, but there is a difference. For instance, this one is the UK version and is listed as #9 in the My Haven series and is entitled The Tea House. There is a US version that is listed as
#12 in the My Haven series and is entitled The Tea Shed. They look the same to me except the UK box is green/blue while the US box is white. The UK version comes with a poster (which I love!) and I am not sure if the US versions come with posters or not. Perhaps that could be the difference? Anyway, this is the Tea House - #9 in My Haven - image by Steve Read.
I really love that the My Haven puzzles (at least the UK version) all have posters included. Granted, the poster image is quite small and I often have to refer to the big box for clarity. But I still vote to have a poster of some kind in the box. It is just so much easier for my hands to hold than the bulky box. This is more of an issue for me than for many, I know, because of my carpal tunnel wrist issues. But still... it would be a sign of goodwill for all puzzles companies to just include a nice poster with their puzzles. Especially when they cover up the image on the box lid with logos and etc!!
Anyway, I do love a Ravensburger puzzle. Colors are always nice although in this one as in some others I remember the colors can be a bit 'off'. For instance, that dog hair is super dark brown for most of the puzzle pieces, even though the image shows very light hair with some shadow - but certainly not dark brown. Things like that. Now that I know to expect that it is easier to navigate, but I do wonder why they are so off from the exact colors shown in the image. Pieces fit together nicely and you don't struggle with mis-fits. So that is also good. Just a fun and enjoyable puzzle experience thus far.
Very fun puzzle. Colors were off throughout, but I finally got used to it. I like that the pieces fit together so well and no mis-fits anywhere.
