Great game for kids 7 and up through adults. It really pushes you to look at different ways you can make connections.

We love this game so much I accidentally bought it twice! It is great for such a wide range of ages. My younger children (4) even played a modified slower version we made up. Plus after the kids go to bed my husband and I can play vs. each other and it’s a whole different game!

This is a good game for older than 5. It takes quick thinking and quick hands. You also need a good eye. It’s simple, but takes concentration.

This is an especially fun game for logical thinkers and those who like to look for patterns. It encourages observation and following rules. Even if you are not as logical or good at recognizing patterns this game is a great way to develop those skills. I really enjoy playing this game.

So good for including all ages together, getting them to think mathematically without telling them so. The spatial awareness this develops is fun, competitive and beautifully repetitive. Finish a game and you want to start another!

My kids 8 and up really enjoy this game. It’s great for practicing pattern recognition. The younger kids can play if we take it a little slower, or play with fewer categories. Each card has four characteristics: color, shape, number of objects, and shading. There are three categories in each characteristic (red, green, and purple for the colors; diamond, oval, and squiggle for the shapes; etc.) To simplify the game, you can play with only the cards that are one shape (or any other characteristic), so you don’t have to evaluate as many categories.

We borrowed this game from a friend when the kids were 8, 10 & 12 or so. It was fun to see how each of us tended to find particular styles of matches. I mostly saw shapes first, and my son saw number of items first, for example. It was fast paced and fun.
