Description:
Up for sale is a highly elusive piece of retro gaming history: ENIGMA – The Lateral Puzzle, designed by Edward Harvey and manufactured in the 1980s by Polydron UK.
Because of its scarcity, exact examples of this edition rarely surface on the market. It is a brilliant, tactile crossover between a traditional jigsaw puzzle, a 3D geometry challenge, and a pattern-matching brainteaser.
The objective is to assemble the special interlocking Polydron pieces into a three-dimensional cuboctahedron (consisting of 6 squares and 8 triangles) so that the continuous arrow patterns seamlessly flow across every single face.
Condition Details:
• Contents: 100% Complete. Includes all 14 heavy-duty, hinged geometric puzzle pieces (labeled A through N on the replacement sheet).
• Manual: Original instructional booklet/manual is included and fully legible.
• Box: Original outer box is included. Showing authentic vintage shelf-wear, scuffs, and age-related character as pictured, but structurally sound and holds the game securely.
Perfect for vintage board game collectors, mathematics teachers, geometric puzzle enthusiasts, or anyone who loves rare 80s tabletop memorabilia.
