About this item: Thai artisan Waraporn Khamsuk bases this creative puzzle on the famous Thai legend of Khun-Phan, who was imprisoned under the watch of nine guards. In the game, Khun-Phan is represented by the large square with the white dot, and each of his guards is represented by a small piece marked with a red or yellow dot. The goal of the game is to help Khun-Phan escape through the opening on one end of the box without removing any of the guards from the board. Handcrafted out of rain tree wood, the game comes with nine variations that have different degrees of difficulty.

About our Artist: ‘I’m Waraporn Khamsuk and I was born in 1990 in Northern Thailand. I’m the eldest daughter in the family, and I grew up with the wooden games my father crafted. I’d watch him select wood, dry it naturally and assemble to complete a game. They are challenging and fun something youll never find in computer games. My father founded our family’s game workshop. He created brain teasers, interlocking puzzles and wooden board games. My favorites are the wooden games because I grew up with them. They teach me to think, plan and concentrate, and I apply these skills in my everyday life. Along with the wooden games, we now craft wooden tableware. People appreciate the beauty and the uniqueness of the natural wood pattern.’
