Mindware Q-Bitz Pattern Matching Fun Board Games for Family Game Night | Ages 8 and up 2-4 Players

My mom wanted this game but couldn't find it in stores. She had played it during Christmas with some of our family members. So I purchased it through Amazon and I must say, it is a fun game. It's very easy to get the hang of but challenging with other players, which can get you very into it. The first time I played we ended playing for about an hour and I didn't want to quit. This is a cool new game which helps your memory at the time. Don't know how it is in the long run - I have a pretty bad memory =POverall this game is great fun and gets the whole family together. I even got my fiancée to play and he loved it. Now I know what to put on my list of games for family game night. And a big thank-you to Amazon for always having things like this at a reasonable price.

This is such a fun game that any age can play. Compete agains othes or just play by yourself.

My husband's occupational therapist played this with him for his therapy following his stroke that effected his eyes. He's 41 yrs old by the way. It's a great game.

My friend and I like to have "Girl's weekend". I was looking for activities and we realized that we both enjoy games. So I got this game for us. We both enjoy a mental challenge.There were three play variations. The first one is that you just roll the cubes then look at the picture and then you may rotate cubes as needed to make the picture. My friend was too fast and I just couldn't keep up! So then there was variation 2...you can't rotate the cube, you must roll it to get the side you will need to form your picture. Ok...now I have a fighting chance! The third variation is to take 10 seconds to memorize the picture and then recreate it. Ok...we are stressed and tired folks with no memory so we didn't do very well using that variation. My friend wanted to play variation 2 over and over.My friend has a 7 yr old and some nephews approx the same age so she felt that this game would work well for them. She was thinking about getting the solo version for her nephews so that each one would have its own tin.The game is wood (other than the pattern cards) and well sanded/finished. The cubes are painted and don't look like they will chip or easily become damaged.The only criticism we would have is that we found it difficult to "fit" the game back into the box. The game came with the cards split into 4 stacks and placed under the trays (it doesn't fit by putting the entire stack of cards into 1/4 of the box and stacking the trays). Well, when you put the game away, it's then hard to know which cards we've played and my friend doesn't want to play the same ones twice. I'm concerned about running out of cards and am hoping she'll forget which cards we've already played! I suspect that we're the only ones with this problem.One suggestion...I wish you could get cards that combine the curved shapes from the QBitz extreme and the diagonal pieces with standard QBitz to make it more challenging. If they had the same color combos in both games (which they don't), then you combine it all up, yes, there will be leftover pieces after making the picture but that makes it more challenging - sorting through, finding the right curved ones, straight ones etc

Purchased this for partner as a tool to engage him mentally after having suffered a stroke. He’s able to manipulate the pieces one handed and order them to match the card. The bright colors are fun and help him to focus. Looking forward to seeing how he competes against the grandkids.

Great game!

Such a fun game or just eye hand coordination play! My grandkids loved it!

We got this game because my aunt had it and said they loved it. For some reason my head had such a hard time figuring out how to place each individual block to make the pattern, but once i got it, it was so much fun. My whole family got in on it, and we all challenged each other over and over. Very fun and brain challenging game.
