The object of the Soma Cube is to form different 3D shapes using all 7 pieces of the cube each time. Our Soma Cube Set comes with 50 challenge cards and 7 uniquely shaped, wooden pieces. The entire set is stored in a neat little box with a lid for safe keeping. To play, choose a challenge card from the deck and try to recreate the shape on the card using all 7 pieces from your cube. Need help? Don’t stress, the solution is on the back of each card. Soma Cube challenge cards have three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and hard - this allows each player to move at their own pace at any level, and eventually work their way up to the toughest challenges!
The Soma cube was invented by Piet Hein in 1933, and has stuck around ever since as a staple of the puzzling community. The traditional, original challenge was to form a simple cube using all 7 pieces. Unlike most puzzles, which might have only one correct answer, there are up to 240 ways to build the 3 x 3 x 3 cube! Geometry never fails to amaze. Soma Cube Puzzles build spatial reasoning skills and boatloads of careful patience, making this a perfect educational game for children of all ages and skill levels.
