Rubik’s cube is a puzzle game created in 1974 by Ernő Rubik and first marketed in 1980. In 20 years, this three-dimensional puzzle involving logic and mathematics has become the most famous puzzle in the world! It requires concentration, reflection and perseverance from the player. Even today, it is a classic of playground and travel games. The original model is the most famous, with its 26 colored cubes that must be grouped into six faces of the same color. Very popular, it is then declined in many variants, from 2×2 to 4×4, through the pyramidal version, the one in the shape of a snake, or even with faces that do not all have the same dimensions. There is also a rounded version, much more difficult to solve! And for those who want to personalize it, you can put pictures. If the Rubik’s Cube of the 80s became very popular, they also created small problems for the players, in particular at the level of the mechanism and the colored pellets which came off. Today, these have been replaced by colored pieces of plastic, which are unlikely to peel off or discolor. As for the mechanism, it has been improved to become more flexible and easy to handle, making solving the puzzle more enjoyable.
