QiYi Hexagonal Klotski Puzzle

Fun solve, construction leaves a bit to be desired

The solve is fun, but the magnets don't always do the best job of keeping the puzzle pieces going where they need to go, and there are no tracks or other mechanisms to help keep the tiles in place. Especially if you're going quickly, the tiles will slip out of alignment frequently. Also I wasn't expecting this thing to be quite so large. It's like a dinner plate, 8 inches from corner to corner. I'm sure that the dimensions are listed on the product page somewhere so that's on me, but if you have the mental image of a palm-size 15-puzzle when you're looking at this item, you need to revise your expectations. But overall it's fun.

A Real Difference In Slider Puzzles

Never having worked on a slider puzzle with tiles in shapes other than squares or rectangles, I have to say that this particular puzzle is an innovation, one that works in ways like traditional sliders and others that are wholly new - like you can swap any two tiles (of the same color/orientation) and still solve it, something that is impossible to say for the others.
