This puzzle comes with four differently colored cubes, and a booklet.
The face of every cube depicts one of four shapes: a cobra head,
a cobra tail, a straight cobra segment, or a curved cobra segment.
The booklet has 40 different puzzle challenges, segregated into
4 difficulty levels, all of whose goals is to get a fully
connected cobra with head and tail snaking across a certain set
of visible faces. The early puzzles are quite easy, where you
are told exactly which cubes to use where and which faces to
have the cobra one; whereas the later puzzles just give you a
cube configuration and have you building the cobra on all the
visible faces, from all four directions.
For the early puzzles, I appreciated that the easy puzzles really
were quite easy and that the puzzles had a pretty smooth difficulty
ramp. When doing the hardest puzzles, I appreciated that the
arrangement of snake segments on the cubes were just spread
out enough to make the different configurations all solvable.
Unfortunately for me, I was able to solve all the puzzles in one
long sitting, but I'm guessing that won't be the case for most
players. In case it is, though, the company says that there are
more puzzle challenges available on their website.
