Great for critical thinking skills, and addictive! July 25, 2008
L. Collier (El Paso, TX United States)
This "toy" is a blast. Start with three tiles, then four, then five...mastery builds with the completion of each set. It encourages thinking outside the box: symmetry may or may not be present. More tiles, more thinking, more possibilities. This is a game that is very hard to stop playing, hard to walk away from. Fun for all ages.
I have two others that are similar, but this is the one to get. I didn't know it existed when I bought the ten-tile game. I mistakenly purchased another set; I don't recall if it was more or less than ten tiles. With this one, you get ALL "smaller" versions of the game encompassed in this one set. Fantastic!!
An excellent game August 15, 2007

I love this game, and when I have shared it with others, they have loved it too. It's the kind of game you might get frustrated with, but you can't let it go. It's so much fun, and you want to figure it out. You can do lots of different games with these tiles, and the main game I play, you can play over and over, and it will still be a challenge. These plastic tiles will last for a very long time as well. I highly recommend this game if you like games that challenge your mind. If you like building puzzles, you'll probably love this game.

This is a truly GREAT game - money well spent! The game is won by the player who has created the biggest loop or longest line. Sounds too simple, but beware. It is a combination of strategy, luck, and competition. Even the most skilled or experienced player can be beaten by the novice -- it's all in the luck of the draw or the placement of a well-played tile. Plus, every game is different. Haven't spent much time with the solitaire puzzles because the game is SO much fun for 2 or 4 persons. Have sent these out as gifts and have 3 sets of our own.

This game was in one of the hands-on exhibits at the Chattanooga children's museum last year. My then 7-year old daughter would not stop playing with it until we promised to buy one for her. She is 8 now and still loves to play it, mostly as a solitary game. The sturdy plastic hexagonal pieces are imprinted with various color ribbons. All you have to do is match up the color ribbons - sounds simple but is very tricky to get more than one or two sides of the hexagon to match. My daughter likes to play on the floor so she can make long looping lines which are easier than matching the pieces into a more compact shape. The game comes in a sturdy canvas pouch that packs easily so it's great to take on trips to Grandma's house. She also takes it to her chess tournaments and plays with it with the other kids between rounds. Another great feature of this game is that even if you lose a few pieces, the game still works.
