Comical! Challenging! Collectible! This one-of-a-kind combination of puzzles and the crazy contraptions of the legendary Rube Goldberg will tickle your funny bone and your brain.

Cartoonist Rube Goldberg’s outlandish, hilarious inventions have entertained generations—and now they’ve provided the inspiration for a wild array of all-new brainteasers by puzzlemaster Robert Leighton. This celebration of creativity and ingenuity features puzzles based on classic strips as well as new cartoons specially created for this book. But it’s not just inventions! Other surprises abound, including games based on Rube’s many, many other comic strips and running gags, such as Old Man Alf of the Alphabet, Mike and Ike, Foolish Questions, and Bertha the Siberian Cheesehound. This unpredictable mash-up of old and new is truly not to be missed!
