About this game

Players take turns completing color sequences by placing red, blue, and yellow playing pieces on one of twenty-five fabulously designed game boards. What seems like a simple choice is likely to lead to animated discussion as players come to understand the visual logic at the heart of the game. With two levels of play to choose from—so that it's easy enough for a toddler to grasp, but also complex enough to challenge older siblings and adults—this engaging game delivers hours of entertainment for the whole family. Players take turns playing coloured pieces of the board. Pieces that are placed must conform to a color pattern for that board; the player will have to convince all other players that the piece matches such a pattern. When the last space on a board is filled, the player who played the last piece takes it, and the board is replaced with a new board. The first player to collect six boards wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
