Description

Minima-Ze – Intermediate Take Apart Puzzle

Minima-Ze is a take apart puzzle designed by Frederic Boucher and produced by Pelikan Puzzles. Captive wooden blocks and a larger blue marble obstruct a smaller white ball.

Manipulate the captive pieces to find a way to release the white ball. The blue marble is an obstacle and is not intended to leave the box; the wooden blocks also remain captive.
