It is waaay harder than it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Carry It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicroma was Andreas Röver's exchange puzzle at the 2026 International Puzzle Party in Assisi - an international gathering of a closed circle of puzzle collectors, where brand-new puzzles are introduced and exchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI solved it there, and I immediately knew I wanted to share this design with you all. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/frederic-boucher\"\u003eFrederic Boucher\u003c\/a\u003e's MINIMA series has inspired a whole wave of designers, and this could be one of the most brilliant MINIMA-inspired designs out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Rules\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePack every piece into the box. Rotations are allowed, which is where the difficulty lives - a piece that clearly does not fit in one orientation may fit perfectly in another, and finding which is the whole puzzle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne rule matters more than the rest: do not disassemble the pieces. A smart guy I know did it once. Don't do it. They are meant to stay whole. If you find yourself pulling one apart, you have left the puzzle and started a different one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Microma?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicroma is a 3D dynamic packing puzzle designed by Andreas Röver.
