    Great puzzle
    Great to have my 4yr old to follow the picture directions. There are 40 cards and each have a question or problem solving to do. They have english one side, Spanish on the other side of the card. These are about 2" big blocks which makes it easier for little hands to stack and not fit in the mouth...(I've measured my own and none would fit).

    Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I use this game in my Public Speaking course (Freshman-level Speech) for college students. We play the game 2 different ways:

    1) Active Listening/Effective Communication: There are about 5-6 students in a group. I have the picture cards. One student from each group will come view the card for 10 seconds and then return to the group to describe how to build the structure in the picture. They have to employ memory skills and effective communication skills during this process. They have to remember the shapes, colors, and patterns on each block and how they were positioned in the picture, and THEN they have to communicate all of that info back to the group. And when they are actively competing against other teams, it's even more challenging, but it gets them up and moving and working in teams, which is my goal. (15-30 mins)

    2) Team-Building/Small Group Communication: Again, there are about 5-6 students in a group (I would prefer 4 or less, but I only have 2 sets of these blocks). They determine their own roles in the group and what each member will do. Some choose to observe, some prefer to build, and some prefer to interpret the cards and direct the building of the structure. The cards include a picture and a challenge statement at the bottom, so after they build the structure, they must then rebuild the structure according to the challenge statement. Only a few of the challenges have only ONE answer, so they inadvertently discuss all possible solutions. I generally don't interact with the groups when they are playing this game; I prefer to monitor if and how well their teams are working together and occasionally offer remind them who is hands-on, who is good at interpreting data, and who is a good evaluator or helper. (15-30 mins)

    Durability: pretty good

    1) The cards are printed on slick paper and are fairly durable.
    2) The blocks are plastic and get knocked over often. We have linoleum floors in our classrooms so they have endured some abuse. Only one block has broken so far - the sphere - and we just taped it back together and it's still going strong.

    What you get:

    1) The cards are double-sided and include 40 puzzles total. They range from easy to difficult.
    2) There are 2 sets of blocks included, which allows (for me) only 2 teams to be working from the same set of cards.

    For $18, I have gotten a LOT of use out of this critical-thinking game. I will most likely add 2 more sets to my collection, to facilitate more group activities in the classroom. The only downside is I have only been able to incorporate the game once per semester, but that could just be a lack of creativity on my part.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent game for all ages
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This is seriously the best game for all ages! I don’t know why it says 5+ as it can easily be modified for toddlers and every age above. I have children ranging in ages from 3-12 and they all love this puzzle game. I originally purchased it as a sensory toy for my five year old child with sensory processing disorder. This game helps calm him as he focuses on building each picture. He is also able to build what I describe to him. His older siblings like to play too and even the three year old can copy the pictures on the card. It truly is a game for every age. The pieces are made from hard plastic and are perfect for little hands. My only complaint is the game cards. Though they are laminated card stock they are very thin making them easy to bend. Already ours are bending and creasing.

    I love the many ways i can use this activity and how i can dial it up or down for different levels of development. For the younger kids i show the a card and ask them to build it. For the older kids i have them build a design using no more than one of each shape/color unseen by me and have them describe it to me so i can build it. Great fun. Only complaint is when returning it to the box the cardboard dividers do not stay together and i must fit them together to keep the pieces seperate like i want to store them. This is a bit time consuming. I guess i will get some tape and affix them so i don't have this problem.

    This set is very cool. As a game, you can play alone, with a partner, with teams, or any other configuration you can think of. It's great for our 5 year old and our 3 year old sorts and does some things too. It's memory + logic and the cards have cool questions on them. The puzzles get challenging quickly if you rely on the cards. You could just describe what you want someone to build, too. That's the point of these ... and they hit all the plusses. They're sturdy and light. Glad we got them for COVID-19 homeschool!

    I bought this for my kindergarten class because I thought that it was the perfect thing for them to do during math time. They love building stuff even when not following the cards that were included in the set. It is a fun game but it is frustrating when the pieces topple over and fall down but I guess that is a good thing because it just encourages you to keep on trying to get it right. I love how it has 3 different languages on the cards because it makes it easier for people who don't speak English. Love this product a lot. :)
