Review: Great for the College Classroom, Too! - 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.
Review: An excellent game for all ages - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the age range?**
A: It works well for all ages. My 3 year old looks at the card when he is building and my 5 year old looks at the card for 10 seconds and then builds from memory. I suspect that the commenters who stated it would be too easy for a 5 year old have not tried building from memory - it's hard, even for the adults in our family!

**Q: how is this different then the mental blox go game other than the size?**
A: This comes with a set of activity cards :)

**Q: Does one set have enough blocks or do you need two sets?**
A: Based on the cards included with the set, that the child is suppose to “copy and build”, there’s enough blocks with this one set:
