Puzzle #45 - Buffalo Games - Cities in Color Raining in Paris - 750 pieces

Puzzle #45

I almost gave up on this one.  Glad I persevered.  Turned out to be pretty and even enjoyable.  But early on I had a bad feeling about it.  Buffalo does that thing where pieces fit more than one place which is super obnoxious.  And it all looked pink and purple except for a few areas.  I came as close as getting the box open to start putting the puzzle away then I decided to just try a little bit more.  I was able to fill in the sky and upper right quadrant and that helped me keep going.  Should have taken a photo today of final progress... the last bits were the rain covered sidewalk/road and the building upper right side.  But I got it.  Buffalo does that dumb piece thing, but they do have a nice, large poster which is important to me.

Puzzle #17 - Buffalo Games - Cities in Color Sights of Venice - 750 pieces

The only issue I am having with this otherwise enjoyable puzzle is that twice now pieces (more than one together) have fit in a spot where they don't actually belong.  They are super close (which is why they visually look correct) but then other pieces that should go near don't fit and you have to determine which pieces fit but aren't right.  Frustrating.  And it isn't because I am forcing them or not paying attention to how things look.  I should have thought to take photos of the issue.  I will if I enounter it again. They are very nice size puzzle pieces, though.

Very fun puzzle.  Challenging but fun.  Good pieces overall except for those few issues with pieces fitting (remarkably well) in two different locations.  That was a tad bit frustrating.  However, overall, the pieces feel good in the hand, the colors are clear and discernible, and the picture was a lot of fun.
