Description
ABC Blocks is a pattern game with three large cubic magnetic blocks with letters, and three smaller dice with letters. One shakes the dice in their glass container and let them fall in a straight or V-shaped pattern. The object is then to replicate the dice pattern with the large blocks. However, the magnets sometimes attract and sometimes repel. The blocks need to attract to form the solution. The puzzle is not too difficult. The canonical ABC challenge has a single solution. Other challenges have between 1 and 30 solutions, so some challenges are harder than the other. The puzzle can be played as a two-player game, where one player shakes the dice and the other tries to solve it within some time limit.
This puzzle requires 18 square magnets of 3x20x20 mm.
