Description

These are called Dicey Cubes, designed by Bill Darrah (IPP27), and made by Mr. PUZZLE. THE DICEY PART is that there are 8 heavy dice inside... the goal is to build the box and just before you finish... put the dice in... this is a very deceiving hard puzzle. After playing with mos5 of Bill's designed puzzles, this is one of his best and hardest. I got one as a completed piece and had to solve it when I looked at it too hard (no spoilers). The other came to me completely disassembled and the dice increase the difficulty emensely. There are no solution details with this one. But if I could do it... I know you puzzle nuts will do it faster. Lol

Note... I am only selling one of them. The other lives in my collection.
