Pack of Cards

 Stave, 205 pieces. A nice traditional puzzle with lovely details at the edges including card-themed whimsies and some musical instruments/furniture as well. 6/10

coat!

piano and ace of spades

harp and candle

the suits, next to the wine and grapes

Mushrooms, Adolfe Millot

 Liberty, 743 pieces. This is a challenging Liberty puzzle, different from their usual. If no wooden puzzles were like this, it would be sad; if all wooden puzzles were like this, it would be more sad, because most people would be too frustrated to do them and the hobby would lose out a lot. My frustration tolerance is pretty high so I kept going, but even I resorted to using the numbers to help guide placement, although the numbers aren't exactly super regularly placed in the image so that was no panacea. The line cutting was a big help, though, and flipping it over revealed some nice whimsy design. 3/5

wiggly edge for extra gnashing of teeth

hope those books aren't AI generated mushroom guides

Iwona Lifsches, Riders on the Storm

 Artifact, 523 pieces. Nice colors, as usual with these images. 3/5

Night Owl Gathering

 Stave, 520 pieces. As I was setting this up, I thought, wow, big blocks of color--this should be relatively simple, right? I really, really should have known better. Total delight. 8/10

Liv Wan, Australia Map

 Artifact, 418 pieces. Squarish Artifact cut with themed whimsies--the giant shrimp on the barbie was my favorite. 3/5

Derold Page, Joys of a Lifetime

 Nautilus, 332 pieces. Standard Nautilus spiky cut, colorful as you'd expect. 3/5

Winter Scene Man and Tree

 Stave, 365 pieces. Small but mighty, this has a lot of those wonderful Stave grace notes, from the extra bits on the border to the interacting whimsies that make Stave puzzles so special. The pictures loaded backwards, sigh. 7/10
