Description

Minima Dove is an interesting Minima puzzle because it's one of the few Minima puzzles not actually designed by Frederic Boucher himself despite his seeming monopoly on the concept with the way he pumps out minima after minima nonstop!

For those who don't know, Minimas are what some puzzlers refer to puzzles that deal with a 2x2x3 box which is an awfully tiny constrained space to design a puzzle in. Hence the name coined for it by Boucher who originated the concept. Minima is about making the most out of a "minimal" space. Minima Dove is Andee's take on the puzzle with an intriguing dovetail seam visible on the box. It's a packing puzzle at it's core but with a twist. It's all up to the puzzler to figure out how the pieces go inside and back out of the box.

I haven't tried too many of the Minimas outside of the earlier ones and the SD versions of the Minima puzzles (Jammed Gem, Jammed Coin, and Jammed Gem Again), but I liked this take more than most other Minimas because of how it expanded the puzzle to be more than a packing puzzle with an interesting mechanism involved to complicate the solve. I recommend this puzzle to any Minima fans or puzzlers looking to dip a toe into this micro-genre of puzzles!
