Pachinko - Wil Strijbos

This puzzle probably doesn’t need any introduction, but I’ll give it a go anyway… in my humble opinion, this is quite simply one of the best puzzles ever made. Featuring mechanisms of genuinely remarkable novelty, Pachinko is an absolute masterpiece including what I personally consider to be some of the greatest aha-moments to be had anywhere in the puzzling world.

This is a hard puzzle that took me a couple of months of on/off effort to solve as I hit several walls. The feeling when I figured out what I was supposed to do on each of these occasions was truly something else.

The puzzle is in very good secondhand condition - as with all secondhand Strijbos aluminium puzzles, there are plenty of micro scratches to be found and there are also a small number of slightly deeper scratches (I’ve tried to capture them in the images), but these in on way affect the solve / function of the puzzle and it still looks great. It’s been solved several times and will be shipped fully reset for your solving pleasure. It comes in the original packaging - I’m the original owner and bought it directly from the designer, so it also comes in the original box complete with precision-cut foam insert.

I’m selling this as part of a general clear out before an upcoming move. Feel free to check out my other lots - shipping can be combined if you win more than one puzzle.

Please wait for confirmation of shipping costs before submitting payment. The item is located in Germany.

I’m happy to be flexible regarding payment. Any questions, ask away!
