$2 Million Prize To Solve Puzzle Game

Eternity II

This game may cost a little on the high side as far as board games go but, unlike others, there may be a return on investment.

The creator of Eternity II, Christopher Monckton, is offering $2 million to the first person to solve the puzzle-like game. The game consists of 256 pieces that have to be put together in a certain sequence. Sound suspicious? There was actually an Eternity I that was solved in 2000 in which the winner received 1 million pounds.
