Toys and Games Reviews of Classic Tangoes

Customer Review: Tangoes ,or if you prefer,Tangrams,have been popular for centuries.
Summary: 5 Stars


This is a great idea for packaging up a game that has entertained millions since ancient times.Who actually invented this game is lost in Antiguity;but continues to entertain even today.
This game is usually sold with one set of 7 pieces that can be assembled into a square.It usually comes with a booklet or book of figures to make ranging from under 100 to several hundreds.
Even here on Amazon,several sets of Tangrams are offered.
However,in this case,the game consists of 2 sets of tangrams,one red and the other black.Also included are 54 cards,similar to playing cards)with a figure to construct on both sides of each card,giving a total of 108 challenges or puzzles to complete.Solutions for each figure is given on the reverse side of the card.
The game can be played as a solitaire puzzle or with another person. Timing the time you or your opponent needs to complete a puzzle adds excitement to the game.
The game has been packaged in an ingenious way that makes it very convenient to carry around with you ,even when travelling.It is also a game that can be played by all ages,and even if you solve all the puzzles;all you have to do is to put it away for a while and when you get it out again,the puzzles will be just as challenging as they were when you first tried them.
I have many sets of tangrams and books of Tangram puzzles.
If ,after playing with this set awhile,and you want to pursue this fascinating game further;I suggest you read the review I wrote on "The Tangram Book" by Jerry Slocum.Jerry Slocum is one of America's most popular puzzle collectors and writers about puzzles.My review was written on Amazon on January 6,2004.This is a beautiful book with hundreds of illustrations,and gives the whole history of the Tangram Puzzle as well as an unbelievable array of hundreds of puzzles to do as well as an amazing Bibliography and Reference section.
