The human brain has an amazing capacity for recognizing and predicting patterns. Pattern Smart uses and cultivates that ability beautifully, helping players develop geometric aptitude, critical thinking skills, and math confidence. This rousing action-packed competition involves rounds of play during which all players race one another to complete a pattern from a flipchart, using shape tiles. The patterns come in three distinct levels of difficulty and become progressively harder as you move through the flipchart. The tiles (triangles, squares, hexagons, trapezoids, and rhombuses) are color-coded, aiding in shape recognition and the construction of patterns. The first player finished earns 10 points if correct or -10 points if he has made any errors. All other players receive -1 point for each piece missing from their pattern. The player with the highest score after 5 rounds wins. There are a couple of excellent game variations included, making for endlessly engaging, highly stimulating entertainment for all ages. For 1 to 3 players.
