A thing I like about physical puzzles is the opportunity for well thought out design that doesn't require you to hold onto the box. I like them to be little self-contained units. Neat little pieces of design like this bring me joy. I have always liked looking at little travel chess sets and things like that.

Topspin was a favourite, the top piece rotates , the aim was to get the numbers in order.
I loved anything like these as a kid (except rubiks cubes) .

I suspect the Japan vs China format is adding spice. There's the Tetris round in the puzzle head thread. The guy playing invisible mode and going for tetrises is pretty impressive.
Makes you wonder though. So many bone headed Westerners with short attention spans watching Cowell puppets and the East's youth are getting on TV doing this.

You have to really focus hard on the diagram to see how each layer is made up. It's really a question of patience and thoroughness than puzzling because if you use the wrong piece on a layer and discover so later then you are totally screwed and may have to start all over again. It's a dexterity test too - these pieces are tiny. The green base is only 8cm x 8cm. There's a pacman one too if I finish this one.
