ThinkFun Hot Spot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got this for our 6 year old but it is too hard for her. I think our 10 year old will like it more, if we can get her to try it.
I love how the game is self-contained- the game board serves as the case. So it would be good for travelling and easy to store. All of the components are very well made.
My only complaint are the cryptic instructions. My wife gave up on figuring out how to play so I gave it a chance. It took me almost an hour. We both have college degrees, so it's not like we're lacking in the brain department.
Overall the rules are simple; here are some clues that would have saved us some time...
-The pieces are only numbered for the sake of the solution instructions on the back of the cards
-all pieces can jump any way at any time, except diagonally and not when two large pieces end up next to each other
-the solution instructions on the back of the cards say the piece number (1-9, or X), and what direction it should jump, so "1R, XU" means to jump piece 1 to the right, and then jump the red X piece upwards.

Connect 4 Review

(More customer reviews)I work for an after school program in an elementary school and all of the kids love this game. They get frustrated if they lose too much but that goes without saying. But they learn a lot of strategies while playing, how to set it up so they win from both sides and gradually they learn to actually think of a strategy ahead of time. The Kindergarteners and 1st graders aren't that great but the second through fourth graders get to be pretty good. Our program has over 40 kids and we had to get a second one because it's a favorite among them. It also comes with rules on how to play different versions which I'm not use to so don't do but it can be fun and a new craze is playing butterfly which is when they are allowed to put two pieces in a once. Overall an amazing thinking game and lots of fun, I would def. recommend it.

Magic Labyrinth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is fun, it was easy to learn the directions & everyone can play. My 10 year old has some special needs & it is very hard to find games that we can play as a family but he loves this game & so does my 15 year old. A main piece of the game is made out of cardboard so I wonder how long it will last. You can put in 15 blocking walls for a fairly easy game or put them all in for a much harder game. The game takes only about 10 minutes to play so we usually end up playing 3-4 games at each sitting. It really makes you work on problem solving & memorization.
