Nelson's Barrel is a 3D interlocking wooden puzzle that challenges you to take apart and reassemble a deceptively tricky barrel shape.

Had never heard of Life of games before but it was suggested by Shop app. What a good suggestion it was. The item arrived very well packed and in good time. The product itself is awesome and I feel was a good bargain too.
I would and have recommended already to friends.
Definitely a store to keep an eye on.
Thanks again. Will use again in the future for sure.
Brilliant little game. Very easy to play, very silly. Perfect to take traveling or the pub

Great delivery and quality as usual.
fantastic packaging and arrived very quicky
Super speedy delivery
A great game, with short rounds, suitable for our 6 year old and even our 3 yeah old (with a bit of help). The unlock progression really helps bring in new rules and challenges, without overwhelming everyone from the very first game.
It’s not that easy finding a game that my dyslexic ADHD 10yr old son enjoys but this one ticks all his boxes! We love it!!
Fantastic price, swift delivery & EXTREMELY well packaged, which in the age of Amazon has become a forgotten art. Game arrived without a single dent or ding. Perfection & thank you.
