This puzzle is a large stack of cards and some sticks that look like uncooked spaghetti (although, fortunately, not as brittle as actual uncooked spaghetti). Each card has a puzzle, which is basically a collection of symbols on it with a number, and you're supposed to lay that number of sticks atop the card so that each symbol is separated from every other symbol by at least one stick.
It feels like a bit more playtesting could've gone into this puzzle. The sticks have a round cross-section, which means that they have a tendency to roll around while you're trying to lay them down. Sticks with almost any other cross-section would've worked better. The puzzles themselves are okay, although it's very hard to distinguish whether a solution that doesn't match what is on the back of the card is truly valid. With only six sticks, there aren't that many combinations to try, and I'm pretty sure that there will be cards that are nearly identical.
