Great video. We have lots of 300 piece puzzles. My husband prefers them and I like them for a break after a really hard puzzle.

I have been doing the ceaco 300 by Tracy Flickenger. So far the piece quality has been very good! Smooth fit and firm hold. I love her images!

Good to know!

I love doing 300 piece counts once in a while. Makes me feel accomplished! 😆

I really enjoy doing the smaller piece count puzzles, especially the larger piece size. They make me feel like a puzzling genius and are a nice break after doing larger piece counts. Ravensburger is my favorite in smaller piece counts but I also enjoy Buffalo, Bits and Pieces, Masterpieces and White Mountain. Great video. Enjoyed it as usual.

Hi. I enjoy 300 piece puzzles, as they are quick and easy. I am now doing Ravensburger 500 piece "Dream Library." Great puzzle.

Sounds great! I just bought that one a couple months ago!

Your voice sounds better - finally kicked that bug! Great reviews. I have until recently been pretty firmly in the 1000 pc camp, but realized (thanks to social media) that the smaller piece counts, like 300 and 500 mean I can try more challenging images without feeling overwhelmed. I feel, too, that the puzzle brands have woken up to the fact that adult puzzlers like these sizes and the images are less childish nowadays. And lastly, sometimes 300 pc is just right for when I'm doing a puzzle for therapeutic purposes - I'm in a funk or whatever. That satisfying feeling of starting and finishing in one sitting!

Yes!! I'm finally feeling much better!! 300 piece puzzles are so satisfying.

I do have a lot of 1000 piece puzzles, but I do like doing smaller piece count puzzles; mainly as a stress relief. I really like the puzzle with the owls. It’s so cute! I need to get that one next week. Great video

Great video! I agree with Blanc, Ravensburger, WT MTN and I do enjoy Roseart-Crazyart-Kodak (especially the Puzzle Collector line and Vivids! Also, Eurographics 500 are a great size. All of these are definitely a wonderful choice for those times when you need a quick fix! 🤣🤣

I love White Mountain puzzles. I tend to get their 1000 piece collage puzzles and have collected quite a few of them. Really good customer service too if needed. That gnome set just ended up in my cart. Love gnomes and will have to get that set at some point. Thanks for sharing!

Great video! Nice to hear that the Bits N Pieces multi pack are still a good quality. I've done a white mountain multi pack and while I love white mountain, I did NOT enjoy their multi pack! It's as if they send them all to the same manufacturer for printing/cutting. I enjoy a good 300pc puzzle so this was an interesting video for me

This is very helpful. I do not like the ribbon cut puzzles. I love Ravensburger, Springbok and also the family style puzzles with areas of larger pieces.

This is the first video of yours that I watched and you are a beautiful speaker. Thank you for using the correct word "lie" when describing how the pieces configure themselves when put together on a flat surface. What struck me at the beginning of the video is you sharing you have RA. I'm so sorry about that. I've learned recently here on KZread that RA is an inflammation disease. I learned there's an inflammation reducing diet that helps with the pain. I encourage you to search for it. #phd

Thanks so much for watching! I do go to a dietician but it’s much more complicated than just changing my diet as it’s an autoimmune disease.

I quite often do 300 pieces or less as a break from doing the larger count jigsaws. Loved the Night Owl Hoot as it is one I did myself recently. Bits & Pieces is another brand I've done quite a bit of and usually their smaller count puzzles. I like their quirky shapes.

I do enjoy your channel, your content and your personality.....I also do a lot of 300-500 piece count .... and enjoy Ravensburger , the Owl image was gorgeous... lots of great images and good brands...... this was a good video for beginners and experienced puzzlers... sharing different brands... I enjoyed your interview you did with artist.... you didn't talk quite as fast.... I have to slow the speed down for every video.... I still haven't caught the name of the smaller Ravensburger line..... I will google it.... thanks for sharing the info.......

I love 300pc as well. I have a bunch!! Brands to look for that make some 300s are Eurographics, JaCaRou, Grafika and SunsOut.

I like the large pieces

Love this video

Are there different terms for two-in-two-out puzzle pieces versus pieces like the Ravensburger and Buffalo pieces? People seem to be using 'ribbon cut' for both types of pieces. This would be useful information, especially for new brands. I just don't enjoy two-in-two-out shape pieces for 1,000-piece puzzles. I loved the video and the great variety of brands and images.

@thecasualpuzzler

I use ribbon cut as to say all the pieces are in a straight line. It was cut on a grid so all the piece sizes are the same even though there are different shapes. two/two are just the style of piece shape but can also be ribbon cut. At least that's what I've gathered.

I love to do puzzles. Just curious have u ever done the brands ingooood & cross & glory
