“Dr. Volker Latussek is known for elegant packing puzzles where you have to get (usually 6) identical pieces into a box (or remove them from a box), that just would not let you do it. When I got my hands on this latest great design, I could not resist and play the Casino. There are six discs reminding me of chips used in a casino, and the challenge is to pack them securely into the box provided. With the box having plenty of room to offer and a large slot opening on top, this should be an easy task, but trying this, I soon found out it was not that easy after all. All the dimensions of the puzzle parts are carefully chosen to prevent you from just inserting the discs into the box. Now thinking and systematic analysis was required! This eventually lead to an Eureka! moment, which put a big smile on my face. Using a clever move, all those discs will start fitting into the box, and no blind guessing or trying is required, nor any dexterity. A great puzzle, highly recommended!”
