To play, choose a challenge card from the deck and try to recreate the shape on the card using all 7 pieces from your cube. Need help? Don’t stress, the solution is on the back of each card. Soma Cube challenge cards have three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and hard - this allows each player to move at their own pace at any level, and eventually work their way up to the toughest challenges! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Soma cube was invented by Piet Hein in 1933 and has stuck around ever since as a staple of the puzzling community.
