Mindware Q-Bitz Pattern Matching Fun Board Games for Family Game Night | Ages 8 and up 2-4 Players

My husband's occupational therapist played this with him for his therapy following his stroke that effected his eyes. He's 41 yrs old by the way. It's a great game.

This is such a fun game that any age can play. Compete agains othes or just play by yourself.

My friend and I like to have "Girl's weekend". I was looking for activities and we realized that we both enjoy games. So I got this game for us. We both enjoy a mental challenge.There were three play variations. The first one is that you just roll the cubes then look at the picture and then you may rotate cubes as needed to make the picture. My friend was too fast and I just couldn't keep up! So then there was variation 2...you can't rotate the cube, you must roll it to get the side you will need to form your picture. Ok...now I have a fighting chance! The third variation is to take 10 seconds to memorize the picture and then recreate it. Ok...we are stressed and tired folks with no memory so we didn't do very well using that variation. My friend wanted to play variation 2 over and over.My friend has a 7 yr old and some nephews approx the same age so she felt that this game would work well for them. She was thinking about getting the solo version for her nephews so that each one would have its own tin.The game is wood (other than the pattern cards) and well sanded/finished. The cubes are painted and don't look like they will chip or easily become damaged.The only criticism we would have is that we found it difficult to "fit" the game back into the box. The game came with the cards split into 4 stacks and placed under the trays (it doesn't fit by putting the entire stack of cards into 1/4 of the box and stacking the trays). Well, when you put the game away, it's then hard to know which cards we've played and my friend doesn't want to play the same ones twice. I'm concerned about running out of cards and am hoping she'll forget which cards we've already played! I suspect that we're the only ones with this problem.One suggestion...I wish you could get cards that combine the curved shapes from the QBitz extreme and the diagonal pieces with standard QBitz to make it more challenging. If they had the same color combos in both games (which they don't), then you combine it all up, yes, there will be leftover pieces after making the picture but that makes it more challenging - sorting through, finding the right curved ones, straight ones etc

Great game!

I had never heard of this game until it came up as an Amazon suggestion. I had enough credits to get it free so I thought, "why not?" When the game arrived I found it very simple to learn but with many complex variations on how to play. The kids have played it at school & enjoy it; I let them make it as complex as they wish & are ready for so it can be very diverse. This game fits well with differentiated instruction! I use it in geometry for shape recognition, perimeter, area, angle/side relationships, etc. but it can also be used to teach logic or as just a brain exercise. It takes a lot to get a 5 out of me, it would have to be perfect, but this one came really close! I highly recommend it!

I love this game so much. We get super competitive and it's hard to stop playing. There are PLENTY of cards to go through and perfectly challenging.

I'm giving a five star because it's clearly going to be fun. I was disappointed to open the package and find a used game. I don't know if the seller or Amazon is at fault. My game is being exchanged, hopefully for a new game.

This simple game is a favorite in my family. We play with any number of players from 1 to 4. Solo play is great to master the game so playing against others becomes more interesting. Puzzle and game merge together to make this a true entertaining favorite. Get 2 sets for more than 4 to play.
