PolyDots Aperiodic Einstein Hats PolyKite MonoTiles Brainteaser (Ages 5+)
$25.00
PolyDots is a unique brainteaser using 13-sided lasercut wooden tiles called polykites. Align tiles such that all dots connect perfectly.
Four colors are used for the dots. Split into two or more competitive games to see who completes their challenge first.

POLYKITE BACKGROUND:
Polykites were the miracle mathematical shape discovered in 2023. These 13-sided polygons allow a pattern to be formed that never repeats.
In the math world, this kite- or hat-like shape is known as an “aperiodic monotile”, also called an “einstein” (or the German phrase for “one stone”).
Slotted together, it’s impossible to find a matching arrangement or orientation.
On March 20, 2023, a group of computer scientists (David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig Kaplan and Chaim Goodman-Strauss) revealed their discovery nicknamed the “hat polykite”.
