If you know me then you know I love, love, love THINKFUN! I think the company is the absolute best when it comes to board-ish games that make you use your mind! I mean some of them are marketed to kids, but they are super fun for adults as well! This one was no different. My son LOVES it. He automatically wanted to do all the hard ones. He's 7 and has to prove he's smarter than his 3 year old sister at any chance he can get... like all big brothers. My daughter, she's 3, LOVES helping play the game. She's not quite to the point of figuring out exactly how to code (Turtle Robots, also by ThinkFun, is more her speed for kid coding), but she understands what the different tokens do and likes to SHOUT them out for you as you run the "program." Me, I adore it. Any game that makes me kids think is a win for me. This is not a game where you can sit aimlessly by and button smash or just spin/flip a direction thing and have to move a piece. No, you have to think and use that big ol' brain you have tuck inside your noggin to get things to work just right. Since ThinkFun sent us this awesome game to review, we've played it a bunch! It's sitting on my kitchen table right now where we got interrupted in the middle of a particularly hard coding. Anyone looking for an awesome game to introduce coding to their kids that doesn't involve an actual computer program or little robot guy (yes, I've seen the new toys for coding), this and the Turtle Robot game are for you! If you want games that actively engage your kids and make them think and logic things out, check out ThinkFun's website for more options! Basically if they have it, it is an amazing game!
