Description

When people asked for a low priced Sequential Discovery puzzle so they could try out examples of the genre, the trilogy of Unsafe Deposit, Bolt Action, and Mighty Pin were what people highly recommended at the time. Unfortunately, they aren't being produced anymore which is a shame for the newcomers to the puzzling world today. However, it still stands as the prime puzzle to recommend as a "gateway" puzzle into the Sequential Discovery genre!

Mighty Pin is the youngest child and the baby of the family who learned from the mistakes of the prior two children and proceeds to make all new mistakes instead! It's clearly very unusual from the start with how there is a seam tracing around the middle of the puzzle and solving the other two won't help with solving this one!

Alan couldn't ship out copies with USA quarters internationally due to restrictions on shipping currency, however it was only an issue for him because he would otherwise send out hundreds of them. I can send an international shipment with a quarter in it without issue for anyone who wants that sort of authenticity to go with the printed coins Alan supplied.

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.
I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Archipuzzle by Lucie Pauwels

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr...

LOL by Frederic Boucher

Frederic Boucher has a long history of coming up with wild puzzles, but he doesn't like to craft more than a handful of copies before moving on to the next design. Which is why I'm so appreciative of Pelikan for stepping in to make more copies of LOL for everyone to try!LOL is a packing puzzle where the solver needs to fit all of the pieces into a 4x5 space with only a 1x2 opening to fit the pieces inside. It's obvious that rotations will be required since there are pieces that wouldn't otherwis...

Knot-a-2x2 by Rex Perez

Knot-a-2x2 made for a wild flashback to my younger years playing with a Rubik's Cube. I'll be honest here, I struggled just as badly here as I did back then with the Rubik's Cube hahaha.I had fun with Rex's prior designs when he was mostly selling coin releases and burrs, so when I heard that he was designing an SD for seemingly the first time, I knew I had to get it. And hearing that it's based on the design of a Rubik's Cube, that just sealed the deal.The goal is to scramble up the cube so you...

Matchbox Playground by Péter Gál

Does anyone remembers Oskar's Matchboxes? The solver had 5 matchboxes with a square shell and a box attached to it at different spots from piece to piece, and then they had to be put them together so all 5 boxes would fit inside another matchbox. It was a very interesting puzzle with 4 cavities to store small items inside and people had fun finding multiple ways to put the boxes together. It was fairly popular and not the only one of it's type! Matchbox Play Six by Olexandre Kapkan upped the cou...
