5:51 there’s a solution right there

[@warwickwas]

Exactly what I saw..

[@jeffcarr392]

I've got this game, absolutely love it. They had a stand at the games expo exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham UK last May.

[@paultreneary]

Thanks for the review - thinking of getting it for my eldest grandson (after inititally being tempted myself!). BTW @5:52 you didn't need to pick up the 1xBlue - it could've been done with the yellow in c3/d3/e3/d4 and the orange in the last section

[@cycklist]

If two corner squares were isolated it would be impossible. But perhaps the dice don't allow that.

Hey chris, die is the singular form of the plural dice.

It keeps advertising this very game every time I view one of your videos, so good to see a review of it. :)

최고입니다!

[@maranto15]

Reminds me of the game "Ubongo" :-) I would like to see the two player version of this, I think that could be a lot of fun

[@queencarter3048]

This is super cool. I love Tetris, awesome idea. Thank you for sharing!! 😊

[@727-]

I've played that with my friend before it's really fun, sub 1 on it did like 5 times tho

[@jonathandiemer95]

I've got this and it's so much fun playing against people.

[@KennyF550]

At 5:5p you could have fit the yellow piece on the left open space then the orange piece in the right open space

[@LuzGonzalez-hd5ii]

what are the combinations that are on the white dice. I am doing this board game but on paper so I want to know the numbers and letters that are on the dice. Please

[@stijnvanbemmel5827]

yes i noticed it to

[@pgstevenson1969]

[@spacevspitch4028]

A vs video with Olivia would be fun!

[@timscharf3289]

A video of you playing against someone would be interesting. You could use 2 cameras, or just record one at time and use a timer rather than doing it simultaneously.

[@lucywilliams2932]

Could anybody agree with me he had a way to win on the second one 5.40

[@treysonnier1961]

i see it

[@johnzarattini7859]

Very helpful my wife has mild Parkinson’s at this time so I will get one for her birthday 😃

[@matt_stowball]

@CanChrisSolve? I'm somehow lost 2 of my dice, would you be able to write all the dice markings so I can check which ones are missing and make some replacements?

[@matt_stowball]

Looks like someone else has already done it kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6mQfKiMrdesfs0&lc=UgztNxhe-I9cwJk8ihp4AaABAg.9-L3ndDfBRU90g08EmS3iM

Does anyone know if there’s an app like this puzzle on the AppStore?

[@CraterCuber]

I have a competition in an hour and the morning of my last competition, you uploaded and replied to my comment.

[@CanChrisSolve]

Hello! Looks like it happened again!

[@CraterCuber]

I guess it did.

[@stellartoad]

I did too at that time, but it was taekwondo

[@androidlogin3065]

Could you check roll dices? Just to see if there is any combination possible to be forced to put cilinders around any corner, so the 1x1 tetris piece must be forced to go onto a corner... and if threre are two of them, so a no solution state can be reached. I am afraid that roll dices indicate special positions, in other words, some positions on the board will never have a cilinder on it, said in other words, roll dices faces does not cover the whole board. It would be great to see what possitions of the board are not in roll dices faces.

[@CanChrisSolve]

You are correct! The dice have specific grid squares on them so that certain squares are never hit, and impossible combinations never rolled :)

[@androidlogin3065]

@@CanChrisSolve If you look varefully, some dices have the same Coordinate on more than one face, like Coordinate A6; but does have two different dices the same coordinate? It may be interesting to check how many different positions can be getted by each dice individually and see if threre is a pattern, like dice 1 only points to one part of the board, etc. From the mathematical point of view it could be interesting to be analyzed.... remembering that the board has a 90º rotation equivalence... so the main question could be how many of all combinations can be obtained that are not equivalent just by rotating the board 90º, 180º, 270º. The puzzle mention the number of different combinations, but maybe some of them are equivalent (identical after rotating the board). And also not to forget, simetries, vertical/horizontal mirror, etc.

[@gyroninjamodder]

I'm curious about the dice markings too.

I really wanted to buy this but every video i watch it just seems too easy

[@Yzrie]

Is there a dumb version?

[@TravelingInk]

I haven’t found it terribly hard to solve and I’ve played a number of times. As he mentions in the video, it may be more of a speed game as opposed to a game that’s challenging to solve.

[@ericthecuberspeedcuber]

it was impossible when it has 2 1x1 squares

Maybe the dice don't allow that to happen.
