Tavern puzzles are centuries old designs that challenge and entertain. Blacksmiths forged these puzzles out of iron, so they are sturdy as well as challenging. I've recently started to expand my collection of tavern puzzles; these are the ones I currently have:

INTERMEDIATE SET:
  • CONESTOGA PLAYMATE
  • CLEF HANGER
  • TINKER'S BELL
  • THE DIRTY DOG

  • BLACKBEARD’S REVENGE
INDIVIDUAL PUZZLES:
  • DOUBLE-TROUBLE
  • SATAN'S STIRRUP
  • TRAVELER'S WOE
