Go head-to-head with a friend or foe to complete puzzles! Whoever has the most time remaining on their timer once the puzzle is complete, wins. If the timer runs out before the opponent’s timer, that person loses.  Rules/Gameplay: Turn all puzzle pieces face up and complete the border together. Place the chess timer in a neutral spot, setting it for 30 minutes. [censored] a coin to see who goes first. Participants alternate placing one puzzle piece at a time in the border. Players can only touch one loose piece at a time. All pieces are available to either player/team. Once a puzzle piece is placed, stop the timer. A piece can be connected anywhere on the puzzle; there are no dedicated sides. A player can touch and move as many pieces as they want during their turn, but they cannot leave any loose pieces inside the border. If the puzzle is completed and both players have the same time left, play again! Please be advised that this program is for ADULTS (ages 18+).
