The latest bit of nostalgia re-invention is this “touch rubik cube” created by some innovative folks at the University of Zhejiang. While you can still play with it by site, as the sides still have distinctive colors, it is really intended for the blind with each side consisting of distinctive textures (metal, wood, textile, rubber, plastic and stone.). Between this, the sudden proliferation of speed-rubiks cube solving videos online and the rubiks table we linked to a while ago, it seems like the world is going retro-puzzle crazy.
