Ubongo Extrem: Craxy Expansion is an expansion for Ubongo Extreme released in 2008 for 2–4 players and 30 minutes per game. It was designed by Ted Alspach, Gage Alspach, and Dakota Alspach.
The Ubongo Extreme Craxy Expansion consists of 70 brand new oversized puzzle tiles (with four different solutions on each tile), each of which requires five (5) pieces to complete. This ratchets up the difficulty to a level that has caused low level brain melting in all but the toughest players. Comes with a warning on the front cover so that the expansion doesn't accidentally fall into the wrong (read: not brainy enough to play effectively) hands. Expands: Ubongo Extreme
