Soma Cube - Including Booklet of Challenges and Solutions

Amazing toy, it reminded me of my mother's Soma cube that I used to play with when I was growing up. It comes with a serial number you use to download an Adobe file with all the puzzles from the original (even the unproved Tower III puzzle). The only problem is that it (the cube) was relatively small, I guess I just didn't look at the dimensions of the product. If you need to know just get out a ruler or measuring tape and check the listed dimensions.Otherwise, I left this thing out on my coffee table at a party of mine to keep people busy. I knew it would be fascinating and addictive because not many people had this growing up. Again, the one I played with was my mothers so it was definitely old (sorry mom). Sure enough, the first person to play with this thing spent about 2 hours doing so, and he had a small crowd gathering around him. He was trying to complete the Tower III puzzle which I explained to him was unproved. He wouldn't let it go. I eventually ended up gifting this thing to him months later. Now I'm looking for a larger model =DThey just don't make toys like this anymore: educational, challenging yet simple to understand, no batteries required.

This is a wood version [very nicely made] of the classic soma cube. Great brain teaser for young and old alike...stay mentally alert by exercising the mind. Makes a great conversation piece - just set it down on a table and people can't keep their hands off of it! Best of all, age doesn't really matter - kids and adults are equally likely to solve it or delight in the agony of defeat. Fun, well made, perfect exercise to keep the mind strong.

When I was a kid, some friends of ours had a Soma cube and we loved playing with it. When I decided to look into getting one, I was pleased to find this one which is made of wood and well constructed. My daughter and I have had plenty of fun with it.

I bought these for my grandkids after reading about the block being used in assessing learning. I left them on my dining room table, and I notice everyone plays with them. Even my mom and dad toyed with them (both 80). I wonder if something like this would assist my dad in growing new connections for learning as he forgets more and more.

This is a perfect product! Well made, attractive, and fits nicely in its own wooden cage. The only improvement I could suggest is to include the shapes that it can be assembled into, but that is available as an internet download if desired.

It came with instructions for this shape, that shape...Youtube has a video on setting up a Soma cube as 3 by 3 by 3

brought back many fond memories of playing with this puzzle when i was young

Very good for hands on experience for the classroom. Helps my class understand concepts. Shipped very promptly.
