Z Cube 1x2x2 — small 1×2×2 cuboid for a first step into uneven layers

Z Cube 1×2×2 is a very small and simple cuboid, about 54 × 54 × 26.5 mm or roughly 50 × 50 × 25 mm in other specifications. It is light, about 31–36 g, and good for a quick introduction to non-cubic formats.

• For children, gifts, or a pocket collection.
• For people who want to understand basic cuboid logic.
• For a serious challenge, choose a larger cuboid.

Turning feel

• The turning is simple and quickly understood.
• Because of the small size, it feels like a fidget puzzle.

• Solving is based on restoring the small rectangular shape and colours.
