Description
This 2D packing puzzle dates to the 1970s and is believed to have been manufactured by Waddingtons. It comes in a plastic compact case and contains eight brightly-colored plastic pieces. The aim is to fit all eight pieces into the compact with no free-play. It is deceptively difficult.
Waddingtons was a British manufacturer of card and board games (most famous as the original manufacturer of Cluedo in 1949). Waddington's manufactured five full-size versions of its Mindbender game: Perfect Square, Tricky Triangle, Reluctant Rectangle, Little Circles, and The Path. These contained painted cardboard pieces.
The company went defunct in 1994 and all puzzles are out of print. This is the only copy of compact Mindbender I've seen.
A must-have for fans of 2D or tray packing puzzles, like those of Yuu Asaka. Perfect for travel. These pieces are colored plastic on both sides and reversible. Good replayability until you've memorized the unique solution. (Note, the colors and shapes of the pieces on the package do not correspond exactly with the puzzle's pieces. The image on the box is no guide to the solution!).
Buyer will bear shipping costs, which vary depending on location. Ships from the US.
