Every Wasgij box carries a written clue on the back, and the artwork on the front is loaded with deliberate hints: a road sign, a weather change, someone's expression, an object about to fall. Experienced Wasgij builders read the box for ten minutes before opening the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe practical approach is to build the edge, then the sky and background, then work inward and let the story assemble itself.
