Frederic Boucher wrote about it:
“After designing around twenty MINIMA puzzles, at one point I wanted
to explore the potential this box format could bring to other kinds of
puzzles: the result is these first four MINIMA-Ze (MINI-MAZE) puzzles. I
have a feeling there’s still much to explore and more puzzles are on
the way…”
Kevin Sadler wrote about it:
“These are an interesting variant of Frederic Boucher’s Minima
puzzles with a totally different aim. They are not packing puzzles…they
should be classified as either Maze puzzles or sequential movement
puzzles. The aim is to either remove the/one of the ball bearings that
is trapped inside the usual 2x2x3 box or, in the case of Minima-Ze
Rally, to run the ball bearing through the maze from entry in one side
and and exit on the other. These are beautiful puzzles and terrific
challenges. they are NOT for the faint-hearted! These will keep you
challenged for quite some time, require a lot of thought and a very good
3D visuospatial ability to understand and solve. They are a fantastic
series which everyone should try.
These diminutive puzzles are perfectly pocket sized and can be
carried about without worrying about losing a ball bearing. However once
you have started you probably need to be careful because loss is a
distinct possibility.”
ctually having the dexterity to do it was a nice added bonus. This is a terrific puzzle as well as a gorgeous one!”
