Original games and puzzles designed and made by Objectivists, available only directly through the website and at art shows (and at The Atlas Summit). So beautiful, they're art. Unique lasercut acrylic mosaics and handcrafted wood gameboards are a celebration of the mind and offer endless challenges for lively intellects.

See my article, "Gamepuzzles--Paradigms of a Rational World": http://kates-takes.blogspot.com/2014_...

I have designed over 200 "playable art" pieces since 1979, enjoyed by all ages, from kids to adults. At 43 years of business, we're better than ever!

A philosophical footnote: These puzzles are an expression of freedom, since they have countless solutions. They are the antithesis of totalitarianism, and each gives players the rare pleasure of experiencing their own efficacy. See a video interview about my work and ideas here: http://www.gamepuzzles.com/video.htm -- it won the producer an Emmy.
