Great Puzzle Game For Some Kid Alone Time

Good game for the car or during some needed mommy quiet time or even kid quiet time. MY KIDS LOVE THIS GAME!!!!! (well, kyle & i have played it also! )

So the ages recommended for this game are 8 and up, but Mackenzie still gains some logical thinking skills while playing it. The actual game requires the player to set up the cars which in itself is logical thinking, organization, & fine motor skills. Kienan uses a little bit more brain power, but they both kinda solve the puzzle with some luck.

Whatever their motivation they have been flipping a coin to see who gets to play it. :) Of course i smile when my children compete over who gets to play the educational games first!!!!

I also found a free online version which i played! Took me a good 15 minutes to complete an expert puzzle. TRY IT or BUY IT!

I thought that was pretty cute and ingenious. But then his next sentence caused me to raise an eyebrow. "You just really need todo A LOT of Jacks, Mom."
