Multi-Level Cards Grow With Your Child,
My children, 10, 8 and 5 all enjoy this game. You can play it alone, in a team style of play, or play against each other. There are over 100 puzzle cards, categorized into several levels of difficulty. Not only does this allow s kids of different ages and/or levels to enjoy the game, but it offers a rarety in educational games: the game doesn’t become obsolete as soon as a skill is mastered. Instead, you just move on to harder puzzles.
It is really nice to find an educational game that encourages logic and reasoning, rather than the memorization of facts. For the price, this game can’t be beat.
I would caution that the game pieces are very smooth, shiny, and small, and game pieces left out could be potentially mouthed/ swallowed by younger (toddler) siblings.

|A well-kept secret in logic toys / puzzles,
Each of the 166 puzzles presents a number of circles, where the solver must place a number of colored chips. The puzzle comes with one or more clues as to the relationships between the chips (“One of the red chips is directly on the left of an orange chip”, “A blue chip is somewhere below a white chip” and so forth). That’s it– but the puzzles are quite well thought out, varied, engaging, and arranged in difficulty levels sufficient to challenge most children. As a tool for building deductive and critical thinking skills, it is worth its weight in gold.
I am not sure whether there is overlap with the Logic Links books; there are 100 or so puzzles in each book, and 166 total puzzles by comparison here. Perhaps the boxed set is a “best of” from the other books, something to be aware of. In any event the puzzles would take most children quite some time to work through, so I think this is at least a very good choice for a first pick in the series (you would then be guaranteed to encounter at least some new puzzles in the books).
The price works out to pennies a puzzle. You can’t beat this value. For younger children, I would also check out “Clever Castle”.
