We bought this game on Saturday and played it Sunday night as a family. It is so fun! It's easy to understand in just a few minutes, and even "Beanie" (age 4) picked up on it really quickly and was able to play without much help. The game was different each time we played, and always challenging and fun. Best of all it was something we could enjoy together as a family, and the adults enjoyed it just as much as the kids.Normally I wouldn't describe exactly how to play the game, but for this particular game, the rules are so simple that it's practically impossible to describe it without explaining it all. Each player has a set of 21 plastic tiles rather similar to the pieces in Tetris. At the start of the game each player places a piece on their corner of the board. Each subsequent turn you place any one of your tiles on the board so that it touches any of your own pieces at a corner only. (You cannot place tiles such that two of your own pieces share a common edge.) Note the emphasis—there is no restriction against placing tiles next to any of your opponents' tiles. The object is to place as many of your tiles as possible.
Again, what a fun and challenging game this is. It has also won all sorts of awards like Teacher's Choice, National Association of Parenting, Mensa Best Mind Game, and the Oppenheim Gold Seal. Pretty awesome! Go get it and have some fun with your family!

It looks like a great game! Where did you get it? I have never heard of it.
I think it's cool that you guys play games as a family. I'm wayyy overdue for a good round of Dominoes...maybe for our next get together...
Yes that looks like ton of fun!! I will just have to add it to my long list of games we want to buy. Our number one is Lost Cities. It is only a two person game so ideal for a late night game with your husband (and kids already in bed). We also want Encore which is really fun for big groups of people. Have you heard of either of these?? Fun!!!
