If you’ve got your basic 3 × 3 × 3 cube game sorted, and are looking for something that’ll work your brain a bit harder, this is a nice “in-between” puzzle, before going for six-sided picture cubes. The corner pieces are always easy to solve here, but tracking the correct orientation of the centre-pieces (as they’ll need to be when solved, not necessarily as they are while solving) keeps you on your toes; you can sort the centre-piece orientation once you’ve solved the rest of the cube. This is a typically well-built V-Cube; very nice smooth operation. A fine addition to your cube-puzzle collection!
