Alrightgames: The Garden of Earthly Delights Puzzle

Eurographics The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch 1000-Piece Puzzle

2019 / Jigsaw puzzle / Canada

The busy, bonkers masterpiece prophetically has all the strategic, subtle variety of a good jigsaw. If it hadn't existed, I would have had to make it. Fortunately, publishers weren't oblivious to the appeal of medieval apocalyptic Where's Wally, and a discount saved me the trouble of investigating which reproduction was better. Blurriness and cropping cost it a perfect score, but the random cuts added character and their distinctiveness probably saved me a couple of nights.
