Toys and Games Reviews of ThinkFun Square By Square
Customer Review: Good puzzle game
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this at the request of my 7 year old for her first grade class, when they have inside recess (awesome teacher gift). I bought one for her for Christmas at the same time.
It is a good puzzle game, appropriate for almost any age, elementary to adult. My daughter reports that at almost every inside recess, someone will grab this game - that it is the most popular game in the classroom.
As far as game play...I was surprised at how difficult it is! You have assorted shapes (think Tetris) that you must place in order to make the pattern. I had thought that it would be more of a tangagram, where you just have to make the pattern. Wrong! You not only have to make the pattern, you must figure out how to place the blue shapes so that they all fit!
There are two hints on the back of each puzzle card. One is kind of a starter hint, the other gives you most of the solution. I wish there was more of a variety in hints, because once you see the second one, the puzzle is pretty much over, but the first one often does not give enough.
My biggest con for this game is that the playing board is smooth, so the pieces slide VERY easily, making it less of a travel car game and more of a tabletop game. If there were some kind of grooves to help hold the pieces in place, or even rubber backing, it would be better.
If you are trying to decide on which ThinkFun puzzle to buy...my favorite of the two would still be Rush Hour.
