Crazy Cheese

Sat, 18 May 2013 17:28:15 +0000

Don’t let the deceptively simple cheese slices fool you. Crazy Cheese is one of those masters of brain game trickery where the puzzle ends up being decidedly harder than it looks. Good thing it has two difficulty levels for younger players and those light brain training days. The reward for arranging the cheese pieces to form different patterns is improved critical thinking, logic and spatial processing skills. Crazy Cheese is made by Blue Orange Games, a manufacturer dedicated to high-quality toy construction that plants two trees for every one it uses to make its games.

Double Shutter

Sat, 18 May 2013 17:28:15 +0000

Double Shutter one-ups the classic game of Shut the Box with a new level of strategy and complexity. In brain game parlance, that means your frontal lobe will be doubly happy. To play, just roll the dice, add up the dots and find the best combo of numbers to shut two rows of nine tiles. You can’t shut the tiles in the second row unless you’ve already shut the tile in front of it, which means you have to use your strategy skills to think three to four plays ahead. That’s where the double frontal lobe action comes in! Double Shutter comes in a self-contained, travel-friendly box.

They’re all in Gobblet, an award-winning game of strategy for the whole family. This four-in-a-row game adds complex layers and multiple levels of learning that will have your frontal cortex buzzing as you use your memory and forward thinking skills to gobble up your opponent. As an added bonus, you can up your feel-good quotient knowing that the makers of Gobblet plant two trees for every one tree used to produce their games.

Chicky Boom

Sat, 18 May 2013 17:28:15 +0000

As far as brain-building games for kids go, Chicky Boom is a quintuple whammy. This colorful game of balance teaches kids about weights and cause and effect while building coordination, developing fine motor skills and encouraging both cooperative and competitive play. The object of Chicky Boom is to collect as many chickens, hay bales and wagon wheels as you can before the perch topples. Each piece has different weights and point values, which means picking a heavier piece wins you more points, but also comes with the risk of toppling the perch.

We love the folks at Blue Orange Games. Not only do they plant two trees for every one they use in the production of their games, they also create ridiculously fun, brain-boosting games like Sumoku that appeal to children and adults alike. Sumoku is a crossword-style game with numbers that helps develop math skills and can be played five different ways. In the basic version, players roll the die and then create rows and columns from numbered tiles that add up to multiples of the number shown on the die. Just add up the numbers on the tiles to get the score for each turn.
