Forgecore – Haken und Ring

I didn't expect the build itself to be half the fun, but sorting the wooden pieces and threading the ring took me a solid evening. Now it lives on my coffee table, and guests keep picking it up between drinks.

The fact that it folds up into a book when you're done playing is such a clever touch, and it actually sits nicely on my shelf instead of getting shoved in a closet. Took me a bit to get the ring swinging right, but once it clicks you can't stop playing.

The assembly took me about twenty minutes and the wooden pieces fit together snugly without any wobble. The way it folds back into a book shape on the shelf is honestly clever, and my kids keep pulling it out for rematches.
