A dodecahedron with 62 possible axes of rotation, shallows face, corner and edge turning.

Dodec 108 FCE is a dodecahedron with 62 possible axes of rotation.
12 turns are face turns (better: the circles) and are so shallow that they only affect the 4 pieces within the circle. They are always available.
Other 20 turns are shallow corner turns comparable with Compy Cube.
The remaining 30 turns are edge turns, also quite superficial.
Logically, all these turns can only be used if the central pieces of the two or three faces involved are in a suitable position.

118 pieces of the puzzle are visible, of which 32 can only rotate, but not permuted. The remaining 86 pieces can interchange their positions.

The name Dodec 108 is related to the angle that is present in the geometry of the pieces forming the circles, which is none other than that of the so-called “tie and navette” tesserae, a variant of the Penrose tiles, already mentioned by Nathaniel in the thread “WIP: Penrose Twist” posted by Oskar back in July 2019.
