Another wonderful 2d restricted packing puzzle by Frederic Boucher. This one was made by NothingYetDesigns. Pack the pieces into the tray. Not the hardest Boucher but very enjoyable. The quality of the puzzle is excellent.A little about myself and the puzzles. I am a solver / collector. I try to collect various types of puzzles from various designers / makers. I rotate new ones in to the collection and like to pass along puzzles to others. All the puzzles I sell are solved at least once by me. M...

NumLock is a n-ary puzzle by Goh Pit Khiam. This one is 3d printed by Operating Machinery. Description from the maker:NumLock is an n-ary puzzle with a great solving flow, and I found it was a great way to start to understand what was going on with n-ary designs. An interesting feature of this multi-slider setup is that it can be configured with keys of any odd base (ternary, quinary, etc); I decided to take advantage of this and produce a set of both ternary and quinary keys, which allows you ...

Dice by Akio KameiFantastic puzzle box from Kamei/Karakuri.  This box was purchased used and I've solved it a few times.  It functions well and there are no major cosmetic issues, but it does have some light scratches from play.  I've included some close-up photos.  Although sold out from Karakuri at the moment, this classic puzzle gets remade periodically.  The starting bid is well below the retail price at Karakuri and distributors such as PuzzleMaster.-----Buyer is responsible for shippi...

Bugs by Alexander Magyarics, crafted by PelikanA review of this packing puzzle can be found here: http://www.puzzlemad.co.uk/2021/05/so-gorgeous-i-will-hang-it-on-wall.htmlI was challenged by this fun puzzle for quite some time before finally solving it.  The solved puzzle has a frame/cover that is ready for wall-mounting, and it looked great decorating my office.  This puzzle was purchased new and solved once.  It is in "like new" condition and will be sent unsolved in its original box and p...

This is a 14-Piece checkerboard puzzle, likely from the 1930's, produced by the D&S Novelty Company of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  The pieces are to be punched out of a sturdy cardboard folder, and each square is 7/16 x 7/16 inches (10 x 10 mm).  The puzzles are intact and in NEAR MINT condition.  THE WINNING BIDDER WILL RECEIVE TWO COPIES OF THE PUZZLE --- one to keep intact for collecting purposes, and one with which to play.  Both puzzles come with their original glassine envelopes!  The ...

From the mind of Dr. Volker Latussek, a vexing 2D packing puzzle. Lovely contrast in the wood selections, and the usual pelikan quality.From Kevin Sadler:“When I received this batch from Jakub, I was rather surprised at the name of this puzzle. It doesn't look much like an Indian meal. Dr Latussek, a master of the unusual packing puzzle (I have still not managed to solve Fermat or the Euklid for Nick puzzles!) has informed me that this puzzle has been designed and named for Paul Curry,...

18-in-Blocks is a 18-piece burr. All the pieces are rectangular, which allows for an almost cubic-shaped puzzle. The main goal is to take it apart. It is advisable to note the location of each pieces as you go, as there are no less than 65,386 ways to reassemble them for a single solution. They were polished and waxed with a wax which gave them a warm and pinkish patina, pleasant to the touch. Signed by Maurice Vigouroux.Level : 12.7.8.2.1.4.4.2.2.1.1.2I accept PayPal. Buyer can expec...

Kevin Sadler's Take: “These designs by Alexander just get more and more spectacular. Very few craftsmen would have agreed to mass produce this piece with a beautifully crafted box complete with a captive sliding arm (shaped like a mouse hole in a skirting board) and holders which are made from contrasting woods. The movements are wonderfully free and yet exceptionally precise. There are 3 moderately complex Purpleheart pieces to be placed in the box through a fairly wide opening bu...

Kevin Sadler wrote about it: “I have previously described the Galette by Osanori as the hell part of packing “heaven and hell”. I had first come across the Galette puzzle as an entry in the IPP design competition in Paris at which it was one of the top ten vote-getters. I had spent quite a lot of time on it in the competition room in Paris and had singularly failed to find a solution. I had bought a copy from Tom Lensch and solved it by pure luck after months of effort back in...

A puzzle box from 2015 by Tracy Wood Clemons. It includes two locks holding it shut to start, each with different mechanisms, and multiple compartments. Includes the solution. Test solved, and everything is functioning properly. The original padlock-style lock broke during shipping, and Tracy graciously replaced it when I asked about getting it repaired. I'll include the original as well (shown in photo), though the shackle will be a bit fragile due to the glue job.Reviewed here:http://magicpuzz...
