ABSTRACT:
A cartridge housing a cubist puzzle game having a set of polycube pieces and a deck of playing cards associated with the set. Each polycube piece is formed by at least three like cubes joined together in a common plane in various ways to define the geometry of the pieces. When these piecess are intermeshed in a common plane, they then form a rectangular pad. When otherwise interfitted, the polycube pieces then create multiplanar cubist figures whose configuration depend on how the pieces are interfitted. Each playing card displays on one face a reproduction of a particular cubist figure which constitutes a puzzle in that the relationship between the interfitting pieces is not apparent in the reproduction. The opposite face of the card displays this relationship and, therefore, a solution to the puzzle. The cartridge is provided with a rectangular frame divided into a first open compartment for accommodating the pad of pieces and an opposing second open compartment for accommodating the deck of cards. Hinged to one side of the frame is a lid to close the first open compartment, and hinged to the opposing side is a lid to close the second open compartment. One of the lids has a slot therein to socket a playing card to display the reproduced cubist figure which a player in order to recreate, must interfit the pieces in a particular way.
