Some puzzles are solved with force, others with logic – Minima Ronde requires one thing above all: spatial imagination. This sophisticated wooden packing puzzle was designed by Dr. Volker Latussek and manufactured with great attention to detail by Pelikan Puzzles. As part of the sought-after Minima series, this compact oak box contains far more than its size suggests: six angular wenge pieces and a packing challenge that really packs a punch.
It sounds simple, but it is not: take the six pieces out and try to pack them back in such a way that the interior is completely filled and no opening remains visible. The real catch? Finding a suitable shape is only half the battle – the box itself also dictates the order and the way in which you can assemble the pieces at all. Patience is required here, not a display of strength.
Especially exciting: Latussek revives the striking, unusual building blocks of his well-known "Ronde" design and translates their characteristic, curved geometry into the reduced Minima format – a reunion in new attire, more compact and concentrated than ever before.
Minima Ronde is also visually impressive: the warm oak wood in contrast to the dark wenge turns the puzzle into a small design object that is well worth seeing – on your desk, on a shelf, or as an eye-catcher in your collection.
This puzzle is just right if you already have puzzle experience and are wondering how shapes behave in a tightly confined space. Small, tricky, and unusually shaped – Minima Ronde rewards anyone who takes the time to truly master it. A highlight for yourself or a gift that is guaranteed to surprise demanding puzzle fans.
