What our experts think
This exciting game challenges children’s colour and shape matching skills as they compete against one another to complete patterns. The instructions are clear and the children found it simple to get started. It’s a great way to help develop youngsters’ logical understanding and strategic thinking, as they are encouraged to recognise and create patterns based on shape and colour.
The game also involves lots of healthy competition as children keep tally of their scores and get the opportunity to score higher when they complete a row or column. The game is played until all of the tiles are used, so it is particularly ideal for a rainy day when a longer game is required to keep them occupied!
