5A Great Game to Exercise Your Brain!  Oct 19, 2006
I was labelled as gifted and talented as a child, and am big into games that are truely stimulating. I bought this game for my 11 year old brother for Christmas. I received it yesterday in the mail and was so excited about it, I had to open it. My husband (who doesn't like to play games!) and I played it all night! We would have contests to see who could "beat" the next level! Now I'll have to get another one for my brother, because we are kepping this one! A couple of them really stumped me for a while, but after enough staring at it, I would figure it out. I love games like these, my parents used to get me games like this when I was younger. Set, is one of my favorites. The mensa website has a lot of recommendations for games to challenge you. I am such a huge advocate of educational games like these!

5An excellent game for playing solo  Dec 31, 2005
Another great thinking game from "Think Fun". I belong to a homeschool "strategy labs" group, which is run by a former gifted and talented public school teacher, and she introduced me to Think Fun games.

My children thoroughly enjoy them, and have more patience than I would have expected to try and solve the puzzles.

A previous reviewer said that this game is good for "gifted" children, and I'm sure it is, but I think it is a great game for ANY child who likes to solve puzzles, regardless of their giftedness at them.

I would even buy this game (or perhaps River Crossing Jr, or Rush Hour) for a child who DOESN'T particularly like puzzles, because with some adult encouragement, the child may really enjoy it (thus learning that he/she DOES like puzzles) and improve his ability to think visually and plan several moves ahead - quite a nice bonus.

5River Crossing Puzzle  Oct 24, 2005
Given to me as a 'joke', but became a hit with all ages during a recent visit to friends in Brazil. In fact, our friend is a child psychologist in Sao Paulo and she indicated that it would be a great tool with her clients. She later reports that it is a big hit in the clinic.

We have replaced the set left in Brazil along with set 2, and have sent River Crossing Jr to our grandchildren.

This is a challenging mental exercise. We need more of these in our times.

5Family fun  Aug 17, 2005
We really enjoyed this game. My dad, me and my 4-year-old played together, figuring out solutions. I admit it's a bit hard for my 4-year-old but she will be ready for this eventually ( and in the meantime we can play together). I would buy another one for my 6-year-old niece.
I wish there were replacement pieces as now I am a little apprehensive of losing one of the essential logs included.

Instructions are easy and playing is fun! Highly recommended.

1I am sorry I bought this game  Mar 20, 2005
My grandson is 11 and he just isn't interested in this game. I bought both of the River Crossing games, for Christmas, and he hasn't even looked at the second one.
