A simple, fun game.
This is one of the few games I like to play with my sons that do not involve complicated written rules. The only glitch we encountered was that we already lost one game piece and could not get a replacement. Not a big deal after I just made a paper piece to replace the plastic one.

Great vacation family game
I bought this game to take on our lake vacation. I played online a few times to get the feel of it and that convinced me that the kids would like it. It was the hit of the trip, especially because we had more rain than usual. Every age enjoyed it and there were always enough people wanting to play. (It is best played by 4 players.) Ages 9 through 60 all played together and everyone had a good time. I was in fear of losing the pieces and so used 4 ziplock bags to hold them. I drilled the kids on counting before they started, which helped since they understood the need for everyone to have the same number. We made it through 2 weeks without losing any.

Challenging Family Game for Everyone
We've had this game for a few years now. It's still a family favorite. If you like Othello or Tetris, you are sure to love this game. We usually play with three people and take turns on who lays down a tile for the forth color. It works great and adds to everyone's strategy. My husband is not a big fan of board games, but enjoys this one. It doesn't require any reading, so a child who is a pre-reader can join in. I also like the fact that the rules aren't complicated. You can learn as you go.

Fun Game
Fun game for children or adults. We pulled it out during a rainy evening at the lake and the four of us had an enjoyable fun filled evening

This game is like a puzzle
I am a Great Grandma and I played out on games a long time ago. I had 6 children. So for years I wouldn't play cards or games,I had my fill. Then my brother (65 years old) brought the larger game to my house. With that game four people can play. Well, my brother's game is still at my house. It is a great game it doesn't take all night to play. It has pieces that go on this board but the pieces can only touch at the corners. You keep on putting pieces on the board until you have no more room or you run out of pieces. It is so much fun and I am finding it hard to put it into words. The pieces are in different shapes and different sizes and different colors, so it's pretty to look at and play. Now I have the travel size, it's for two people to play and it is smaller. But is still so much fun. It is not too little for men or women. It is a good size. That is the game we are looking at. Our four year old great grandson plays it. Children and grown-ups alike can play this game and really enjoy it. My niece lives across the street from me and she borrowed it. They got one now. I have two games and I want to get the giant one next.
My aunt wants me to bring it to her house so we can play it instead of Scrabble (that is her favorite game until she plays Blokus). Anybody at any age can play this game and will love it. And now since they have the travel size it is going everywhere. I just mailed one to my brother in Spain. Well, I had to since I kept his.
