Store description excerpt

The Ostomachion or Stomachion ("ὀστοῦν"[ostoun] + "μάχη" [mache], that is "bones" + "battle" which means the battle of the bones) is documented in the famous Archimedes Palimpsest. It is perhaps the world's first logic game, the original puzzle!A square is divided into 14 polygons in an ingenious geometric way (the ratio of the square's area to the area of each of these polygons is a rational number). Archimedes seeks the number of ways in which these polygons can be rearranged to form the square again. Additionally, he investigates the types of polygons that can be created by rearranging the 14 pieces, as well as various figures that can be formed from them (a different version is the well-known Tangram, where 7 polygons create various figures).
