ThinkFun Logic Game

Description

ThinkFun Visual Brainstorms Children who love
word games, logic puzzles, secret codes, mazes, and math mysteries will
stretch their mental muscles with Visual Brain Storms. This set of 100 cards,
each of which includes a humorous, full-color drawing, promises “the world’s
best brainteaser questions.” The characters in the questions often have funny
names (Professor Pith Bugby pops up often) or faces or dilemmas to solve. The
answers and explanations are on the back of each card, along with a related
bonus question. Many of the puzzles involve math concepts, spatial reasoning,
logic, or sequential thinking, but some can be solved with plain common sense.
Here’s a sample: “Frank and Helen’s annual singles elimination tennis
tournament has drawn 18 players this year. How many matches must be played
before there is a winner for the year?” Answer: “Every match will produce one
loser, and every person other than the winner will lose once and only once.
Eighteen players makes 17 losers; therefore it will take 17 matches to have a
tournament winner.” Visual Brain Storms is a humorous, painless way to improve
those higher-order thinking skills. Visual Brain Storms: The Smart Thinking
Game is for one or more players. –Marcie Bovetz From the Manufacturer The
stack of cards includes more than hundred zany eyeball tanglers, logic
puzzlers, twisted mazes, coded messages, 3D be fuddlers, and brain conundrums.
It has bonus question on each card and teaches logic, deductive reasoning, and
abstract thinking. Review One hundred cards include visual, logic, math, maze,
and other brainteasers. They are color-coded to indicate difficulty. Answers
are explained on back, with a bonus question that frequently depends on visual
clues you probably didn’t pay enough attention to on front of the card. Play
alone, with one opponent, or in teams. This version won a 1996 Parent’s
Choice® Honor. (Ruth B. Roufberg, Parent’s Choice®, 1997) — From Parents’
