QiYi 2x2 Mirror blocks - Gold — gold 2×2 mirror for a quick introduction to shape-mod logic

QiYi 2×2 Mirror Blocks Gold is a smaller shape-mod version of the mirror cube, based on a 2×2 mechanism. It solves by piece shape and size, not by colours; the model is non-magnetic, gold, about 55 mm, and about 80 g without packaging.

Who this cube is for

• For people who know 2×2 and want a different challenge.
• For beginners in mirror puzzles, because it has fewer pieces than a 3×3 mirror cube.
• For gifts because of the gold look.
• If you want a more demanding shape mod, 3×3 Mirror Blocks will last longer.

Turning feel

• The turning is simpler than on a 3×3 mirror cube.
• Since there are no colours as guides, the main clues are piece height and shape.
• There is no magnetic alignment, so hand precision matters.

Magnets and mechanism

• No magnets.
• The mechanism is based on a 2×2 cube.
• The larger format than many regular 2×2 cubes helps make it easier to hold.
