Dee Cube - Mini

5 

I am hoping that my review will give a unique perspective on this puzzle as I am blind but still love puzzles. I bought the mini, but I feel much of this review is relevant to both versions. If you are a fan of Soma Cube and similar puzzles, this is an excellent addition to your collection. In addition to the 7 Soma pieces, the set includes: -Straight Tricube -Square Tetracube -W and X Pentacubes -The 4 non-planar pentacubes created by adding a cube to a t tetracube. I cannot comment on the appearance of the pieces, but the seem to be made out of solid, if lightweight wood and have a nice, woodgrain texture. Best I can tell, the individual cubies of the mini are the same size as the plastic Soma cubes that are sold under the name Block-by-bloack(~19 mm), which is nice because it means I can mix-and-match pieces between my Dee cube and my 3 plastic Soma cubes for building larger shapes. The Mini doesn't include the challenges that come with the full-sized version, but that isn't much of a lost for a blind solver. Do be aware that the mini comes shrink wrapped with no means of storage.
