Review & Description
The ancient Chinese game of Tangrams becomes a fresh new puzzle adventure with Shape by Shape. Fourteen puzzle pieces fit together in a sturdy frame; players try to match the pieces to 60 different images on challenge cards. Teaches kids to match patterns and solve problems. Cards store in game. Hints to solutions included. Winner of the Games Magazine Games 100 List - 1997, Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice Award - 1997, National Association for Gifted Children Holiday Educational Toy List - 1997, National Association of Parenting Publications Honors Award - 1997 and the Parents' Choice Silver Award - 1997.Based on the ancient game of tangrams, Shape by Shape is the quietly absorbing game of fitting 14 pieces inside a puzzle frame. Not as simple as it sounds, players are challenged to match the image on each of 60 cards using six red pieces to form the card's subject and eight yellow pieces to form its background. If needed, hints on the back of each card will aid the player. In addition to the 60 puzzles provided there are 27,268 ways to arrange the pieces inside the puzzle frame. Children who can draw up a master list will be well on their way to brilliant careers in math or engineering. This compact, nicely designed game includes a plastic drawer below the puzzle frame to hold the cards. --Wendy Slotboom Read more
