There's nothing in the world like these "mixed-media" wood
and acrylic sets. They're a pleasure to play... and to display.

Rombix consists of the 16 tiles formed with four sizes of rhombs, as singles and concave pairs. (See its basic format in the "Essential Polyforms" section.) The 16-sided "circle" hovers like a globe in its expanse of border. This mixed-media version of Alan Schoen's patented concept alternates bands of dark and blond wood and tinted transparent acrylics, in four variations. The felt-backed handcrafted tray has a beautiful maple frame, 12½" square, and a clear cover plate makes it ready to stand on its easel or hang on a wall. Easel included. This set makes a fine gift for executives and math buffs, and is an extraordinary pleasure to play with. $150

A hexagon of alternating wood and tinted transparent acrylic tiles evokes a flock of birds in flight. Kate Jones' 24 graceful triangles are actually every permutation of four differently shaped edges. (See their basic format in the "Edgematching" section.) Felt-backed 12½" maple-framed tray with clear cover plate is ready to hang or set on its easel. Easel included. Please indicate your preferred choice of transparent color to accompany the wood pieces. $150

The 36 hexominoes have twelve special pieces singled out by contrasting wood/acrylic. (See their basic format in the "Polyominoes" section.) Felt-backed 12½" maple-framed tray with clear cover plate is ready for play or display. The tray's flip-side is also a play surface. Game grid and easel included. Please indicate your preferred choice of transparent color to accompany the wood pieces. $150

The ten curvaceous shapes of 1 through 4 "rounds" and "bridges" are styled with three tones of wood and your choice of three colors of transparent acrylics, in a broad scalloped border. (See their basic format in the "Essential Polyforms" section.) Reversible 12½" maple-framed tray has a felt-lined play surface. A separate 8½" game grid is included. A clear cover plate makes it ready to hang on the wall or set on its easel. It looks especially effective when placed diagonally. $150

Heart-shaped interlocks define 24 squares with every permutation of straight, convex and concave edges, plus 12 duplicate tiles. The 6x6 array alternates diagonal bands of wood and your choice of color of transparent acrylic. (See its basic format in the "Edgematching" section.) Felt-backed 12½" maple-framed tray with clear cover plate is ready to display. Separate game grid and easel included. $150
