Katamino is a fiendishly clever educational shapes puzzle that has over 36,000 combinations - and so is virtually infinite in variety.

Based on the geometry of pentominoes and available in luxury wood and colourful plastic. A brilliant puzzle for children and adults alike.

The idea is to use the shapes to build longer and longer rectangles, taking one more piece each time. The puzzle starts easy, and then gets harder and harder, so everyone can find a level that challenges them.

There are over 36,000 ways of fitting the shapes into the puzzleboard, and over 450 of the combinations have been included in the box, this colourful plastic 2D version is a hit with parents and schools.

There is also a blocking strategy game that can be played with the shapes, using the chess-type board that comes with the game.
