Designed and first released at IPP in 2009, Surround is closely related to the 3/4/5 cubes designs by Ichiro. In this case, six pieces must be used to surround the solid cube in such a way that is self-supporting. Two solutions using magnets are possible, with another "rule-breaker" solution that does not use magnets and covers the cube completely! The finished shape is pleasingly symmetrical and displays well.

69 copies in made for sale, each signed and dated. 8 copies in Walnut & Maple, 11 copies in Padauk & Tamerindo, 50 copies in Canary & Patagonian Rosewood were made for this release. This puzzle is shipped disassembled.

Puzzle Pusher has an excellent blog review of this puzzle.

Somehow so simplistic but difficult at the same time!

Firstly, what a beautifully crafted puzzle. Wood was especially nice and the puzzle although a simple box with different pieces was quite tricky to put together. Thank you for all of your hard work Eric!

Surround the Gold Cube

I love playing with the small magnetic pieces of this recent series, and this one is easily the prettiest one! The dark wenge surrounding the golden yellowheart cube in a symmetric shape looks really stunning.
