Hanayama Cast Puzzles

[pcad]

The H&H was pretty good, but not incredibly difficult. You never feel like, OMG I have no idea what to do next.

My biggest complaint, which is shared with the Coil is that the little bump on one piece and the indentation on the other piece were intended to keep the puzzle in the start position and it just doesn't work very well.

I forgot that I really like the seahorses from the marine Hanayama collection. In the start position the puzzle is designed to stand vertically on a tabletop with one seahorse above the other. A really nice touch and a decent puzzle of modest difficulty, more elegant than hard.

So... what is the best Hanaymaya puzzle?

Or, better said:
"If you could only buy three Hanamaya puzzles, to keep with you on a desert island or a dessert island whichever you prefer ... which would they be?"

Hmmm, okay I'm going to pick up the H&H!! Thx for the review.

1. Marble / Quartet (Both are great; Marble just a nice piece to fiddle with and quartet a real challenge)
2. Duet (Not hard, but a nice puzzle to play with without thinking to much)

1). Marble
2). Cylinder
3). Medallion

In that order

In no particular order:

• Radix
• Baroq
• Rattle

Devil - Rattle - Flag

[Barcared]

Cylinder, Vortex, Marble

[a-maze-ing]

Coil, Chain, Duet. The latter because it has multiple challenges, making it a good time waster on a desert island.

If I were to have only three, I'd want the ones which are fun to hold even when you're not trying to solve them. So my choices would be,

Vortex,
Rattle,
Spiral.

There would be others that qualify if not for the limit of only three puzzles.

I thought you'd put the Quartet in your top three.
