Description

Dark Matter Burr sounds ominous with it's name and looks, but it's quite gentle in my eyes.

I solved it fairly quick when I first got it, but it's really fun to take apart and reassemble with how there are only 18 moves to take out the first piece. It looks like it should be a nightmare with its unusual pieces' shapes, but once the solver gets going, it's only a modest challenge to beat. I wouldn't say this is an easy puzzle or beginner-friendly, but it's not hard either. I rate this at medium difficulty and it's well-named after the dark color and how the pieces expand in almost a spiral pattern. Black Hole would be a good name, but I'm confident that another burr already has used that exact name.

The pieces are quite handsome with how dark the wood is. I thought it was wenge at first, but it's actually Kwila, and not a normal variant of it. The wood has actually been thermally treated to have a much darker color than normal which was interesting to know about. The burr is also a nice weight. Not too light or heavy.

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...

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

Tenchi is a fun little assembly puzzle that Cubic Dissection made from Fredric's design. It's an "anti-slide" puzzle where all of the pieces have to put into the square and positioned around the single cube notch in a way that none of the pieces can slide right back out of the square on either end. It sounds impossible, but I promise that it's very doable even if you have never tried this style of puzzling before.If it ends up being too confusing or demanding to fully solve, I have a solution Bu...

Pizzeria Italiana by Sergio Amateis

Pizzeria is a lovely puzzle that placed very well in this year's IPP43 design competition as a Top Ten Vote Getter! So when I had the luck to see that Tye had printed out a batch for people to buy very soon after the IPP finished and had announced their winners, I scrambled for a copy asap!I had fun with this puzzle and laughed at some of the very well themed moves and pieces matching the concept of a pizzeria! I almost felt as if I should have been snacking on a slice of pizza while solving thi...
