Dimension 4

The Game of Thrones uses the 4th Dimension of Time as follows;

  • Castle / Village Markers -  Mark the locations of important castles and villages 
  • Nature / Battle Markers - Natural features and battle locations are marked and explored

Of course this is not your typical jigsaw puzzle. It's a fairly time consuming project and educational experience for ages 13+ that will take up some good space.

While the price brand new is equally fair for the overall packaged product, I was extremely lucky to buy this one for $2.00 at the local Thrift Store.

As you have seen in the photos, the majority of the product items are still in the closed bags. The Game of Throne jigsaw puzzle pieces were not in a bag so there will be a possible risk of a missing piece.
