Thames & Kosmos Ubongo The Brain Game to Go Fast-Paced, Addictive, and Easy-to-Learn | Convenient Self Contained Carrying Case | Solo Geometric Puzzle Game | for Ages 8 and Up

Super fun game that kept my 8 year old entertained for hours on a long car ride. I love that she’s able to use critical thinking and get off of screens while still ‘playing’ a game!!

I like doing 5 of these a day. The pieces fit well on the playing surface and I like how compact the cards and pieces fit in the box. The little drawer for the plastic polyominoes works well. I think the puzzles provide enough challenge for an adult. I think younger kids under 10 may get frustrated and give up or lose the pieces.

This is a fun little portable game that I am using to help get off the phone. I like that it is portable and was especially fun on a longgggg road trip.

Bought as a gift for a child who loves strategy games. He seemed to love it right away.

This game is a lot of fun and my family enjoys playing it together. The timed aspect makes it interesting and my 5-year-old is often making it on the 3-piece challenges. My only complaint is that everything is made from cardboard, which I can see getting soft after several games with snacks. Fortunately, the cardboard is pretty thick.

Fun to play

My son enjoys playing this game.

Our family loves this game and we play it often. I worried my 5 year old would have a hard time, but she plays something similar on her tablet, so I thought I'd try. My 5yr old and 11yr old loved this game. There is a healthy competition and at times our 5yr old even wins. I'd say if your younger ones like puzzles, give it a chance.Some player cards seem easier than others so we rotate our cards every round to make it fair. There are two sides to each card, 3 piece and 4 piece. We use the 4 piece side as the final round as a challenge. The game is pretty straight forward; roll the dice to locate what pieces to use. Turn over the timer and arrange the shapes to cover all squares. The gems each have a value of 1-4 points to keep track of scoring. As there are 4 of us, each player gets a gem, the value based off who completed theirs first.The pieces are made of very sturdy card board and the cards are of good card stock also. This game will last a long time! A bag comes to store the gems and 4 plastic bags to hold each set of pieces. This makes it easy to begin as each person gets a card and a plastic bag of pieces. There are so many cards which will ensure constant replay ability.
