Mindware | Q-bitz | Miniature Game | Ages 6+ | 2-4 Players | 20 Minutes Playing Time

Product Information

I love three things in particular: it engages kids in thought, does not require kids know how to read to play, and is super fun. This set includes Nazgul, Aragorn, Arwen, Gimli, and Lurtz standing at 4" tall each with roughly 2-4 joints of articulation. However, the patterns do not indicate the edges of a cube, so you have to figure out where a cube starts and ends. The variation to roll the cubes and only use those that match the playing card is helpful to level the playing field between faster and slower visual processors.

game is a fun challenge for younger kids to practice spatial reasoning, visual dexterity, pattern identification, and hand eye coordination. If playing alone and for the younger crowd, I just noticed that the cubes actually fit right on the card for easier matching.

Round one of this popular game is all about speed as players race to manipulate their cubes to copy the pattern on the Q-bitz pattern card. Round three really tests brain power: players study the pattern card for ten seconds, flip it face down and then re-create the pattern from memory! Use the cubes as rolled (face up) and place as many as possible that fit in the pattern on the card.

Players each get their own Q-bitz Extreme board with 16 cubes, and race to be first to replicate the curving pattern to win the card. The great thing is that you can randomly put blocks together and then use one of the other set to make the design that appears. Once your child masters copying the patterns on a card, you can challenge them by asking them to recreate the pattern by memory. Using the cubes as rolled (face up), players place as many cubes as possible in their tray to recreate the pattern shown on the card.

Players race to re-roll all remaining unusable cubes until they roll shapes that are needed to complete the pattern.
