Stylist Studio Merge Game

A makeover puzzle where merged items restyle each client

Styling items on the board merge in pairs into better ones — two small perfume bottles into a luxury bottle. Each client comes to the stylists wanting a change, and merged items pay for a makeover shown as a before and after.

Representative artwork: three stylists in a bright styling studio — one with a hair dryer, one holding a sparkling pink dress with a measuring tape around her neck, one with a colour swatch fan
