It's safe to say that the original Rubik's Cube is hard enough as is (for many), so the 13 x 13 x 13 Rubik's Cube by YJ MoYu is going to appear not only significantly harder, but near impossible for many out there. As the name denotes, the 13 x 13 x 13 Rubik's Cube features 13 lines that require being aligned in order to be solved.

Priced at over $300, the 13 x 13 x 13 Rubik's Cube is technically appropriate for a [child around the age of five](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokidos-playcubes), but it might take a person of more mature abilities to solve this [seemingly impossible puzzle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edge-piece-puzzle). Measuring 13.6-centimeters, the 13 x 13 x 13 Rubik's Cube is sure to come close to driving you mad.
