About the product

We’d like to introduce the original Rubik’s Cube for the Visually Impaired. The puzzle-game was invented by using a regular hexahedron. The cube has 6 identical faces and each one of them is a combination of 9 little squares. Each face has its own distinctive color, so there are 6 colors on the whole Cube. The colors of the fields are repetitive so in an assembled Rubik’s Cube all the fields in the same color are on one face of the Cube. All the fields are movable, yet, you cannot change the position of only one of them, you have to turn the whole row or a column - so three fields.

How to use

To start playing with it you have to „mix” all the colorful fields and then assemble the Cube again in a way that each one of the six fields would be in the same color. For sure you need a good memory, spatial imagination and the ability to analyze the effects of your actions.

What's unique

The Cube for the Visually Impaired is almost the same as the one for the non-disabled people. The rules of assembling are the same, the difference is that each color is marked with a tactile symbol: a circle, a cross, a square, a dot etc.

History

The original Rubik’s Cube (Hun. "bűvös kocka" – magical cube) was invented by Ernö Rubik in 1974. In the 80’s the game was more popular than all the other games. It was so popular that people even organized competitions over who assembles the cube first! The world’s champions could do that in 6 seconds within 20 turns! Today it’s becoming more and more popular again.
