Poleidoblocs: specification

Poleidoblocs consist of 54 coloured wooden blocks shaped as cubes, cuboids, cylinders, triangular prisms, cones and pyramids. They are made of wood and come in four colours, red, blue, yellow and green. They are pleasant and attractive both to hold and to use because they are precisely made and are in proportion to each other.

There are two sizes of cube: it takes eight of the smaller to make the larger. Slice the large red cube in half and half again, and you get the red triangular prism. Cut the large red cube into four slices, and you get the blue tiles. Or cut it into quarters a different way, and you get the small red cuboids. Join three of the blue tiles into a straight path, and you get the yellow tile, or just two of them, and you get the green tile. The blue cylinder fits just exactly on the red cuboid, and is the same height. And so on and so forth.
