If Perry
McDaniels is selling anything at a puzzle party, there will be a queue, ergo,
whenever Perry is selling anything at a puzzle party, I make a bee-line for his
table and join the throng of merry puzzlers throwing money at him… it’s a
pretty safe bet that you won’t be disappointed if you like puzzle boxes.
A few
years ago Perry arrived dressed the part with a Puzzled Guy Bakery outfit – he
was selling petit fours… in a slightly altered guise he sold bon-bons
for a couple of years and this year he was back as Perry the pastry chef…
A couple
of puzzlers had seen pics of his 2017 offering and pronounced it truly
delicious – and there was indeed a queue for the finest in wooden pastries that
IPP37 could offer – in spite of Perry’s quips about them being “half the puzzle
at twice the price”.
Blackjack
marks the first in a series of pastries according to the blurb accompanying the
puzzle – superb, there will be more of them!

Sitting
down to play with this little guy, you will want to spend some time simply
admiring it – it is very handsome!
… and
when you do begin playing with it, the first move will definitely raise a
smile… that’s unexpected!
Spend a
little time exploring and it spits out a playing card at you… a picture card to
be precise … and you might be wondering how that ties in with the name of this
little beastie, and whether there might be another along in due course… and
indeed there is – right at the end – Blackjack!

Hello Allard. Based on that third and last picture, I can only assume Perry must be another Motörhead fan!
