This is a great game that provides excellent learning opportunities. My 7 year old loves playing this game and I love watching him learn about how to interact the shapes to accomplish the goal on each level.

I like this product and think it’s good for problem solving. I do wish, however, that the manufacturer would have put puzzles on BOTH sides of the cards and not just one.

I came across this game at a local second hand store. I had never heard of Thinkfun before but gave it a try and boy am I glad I did! Not only do I love this game, but my 5 year old loves to try to solve the puzzles. She does pretty well with the beginner cards and will work into the more advanced cards later. I love this type of thing. Something I can do on my own after the kids have gone to bed and I have some quiet time. Or it’s great to bring along on family weekend outings or car trips. It doesn’t take up a lot of space but provides hours of entertainment. The only thing is, unless you work cooperatively, this is intended for one person. But still, it’s great for spatial awareness for kids (the beginning cards)and challenging enough (with the more advanced cards) for an adult to get lots of entertainment out of this puzzle. This was my first introduction to the Thinkfun line which I have purchased many games from them since and have many more I want to try. If you like puzzles, this is a great line of games to get into.

This game is one we take with us when we go out to breakfast at our favorite diner. There are few pieces (read: easy to keep track of, hard to lose) and my kids from 5 on up to adults with us have a good time with the game. Its enjoyable for puzzle lovers and children with good mechanical and spatial ability, and a good challenge for others who need to improve those skills.

The object of this game is to fit all four game pieces on the card so that the tracks on the card are covered. What makes this game particularly tricky is that the game pieces will also cover sections of the card that DON’T have tracks, but that doesn’t matter, as long as all of the tracks are covered. My kids have had fun with this game, and have played it cooperatively, “no, try this,” helping each other to solve the puzzle. My four year old could solve 3 of the 5 beginning cards independently, but needed help for the others. My eight year old was challenged by the more advanced cards.
Visually it is an appealing game too, the game pieces are bright and textured and the cards have soft yellow and green hues.
I do wish the solutions had been printed on the back of the cards, rather than in a separate booklet, and I also would have liked to see more than 20 cards (only 5 are beginner), but overall I am happy with this purchase. Maybe I can make a few more cards for them – or, even better, have the kids make their OWN cards for each other…
