This puzzle tooks up the idea of "Wolf & Sheep Cube" by Vladimir Yaroslavskiy (see the separate entry in the museum) and enhances the concept.

Wolf-like stickers are used to mark some edges of the 3x3x3. Goats are used on the corners and cabbages on the faces. The movements are identical to a 3x3x3 but restricted in a new way. A permutation of the puzzle is considered illegal if two pieces with characters are placed adjacent to each other. All movements of which would result in such a state are blocked by the puzzle. The theme of the stickers is taken from a famous riddle "the Wolf, goat, and cabbage".

For some month the preceeding "Wolf & Sheep Cube" was just an unrestricted cube illustrating the concept. Evgeniy Grigoriev and Gregoire Pfennig took up the challenge to create 3D modells for this puzzles.
While doing so Evgeniy Grigoriev came up with the idea to introduce the cabbage as third piece type on the faces.
