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

This gift, requested by a grandchild, was a hit with the whole family. The visual acuity challenges appeal to all ages. While this set is for multiple players, later several family members (including a much younger grandchild) played solo. Q-Bitz is a great addition to our game stash!

It’s so much fun with grandkids.

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

A great game.

I had never heard of this game until it came up as an Amazon suggestion. I had enough credits to get it free so I thought, "why not?" When the game arrived I found it very simple to learn but with many complex variations on how to play. The kids have played it at school & enjoy it; I let them make it as complex as they wish & are ready for so it can be very diverse. This game fits well with differentiated instruction! I use it in geometry for shape recognition, perimeter, area, angle/side relationships, etc. but it can also be used to teach logic or as just a brain exercise. It takes a lot to get a 5 out of me, it would have to be perfect, but this one came really close! I highly recommend it!

Bought this game for my 6- and 8-year-old grandchildren. They loved it. Great game for the whole family.

Fun for families. My grands are bi-lingual but have non-English speaking friends. This game would work perfectly in Sweden

Well-made. Fun

Very good game. Helps the kids a lot to build on their visual and co ordination skills

Ce jeu est très sympathique et mes filles tout comme moi l’avons tout de suite adopté ! Il se compose de 4 cadres (rouge bleu vert et violet) chaque cadre est composé de 16 petits cubes qu’il faudra positionner en faisant tourner en choisissant le bon motif pour représenter le puzzle qui est sur la carte. Il y a beaucoup de cartes et les difficultés sont croissantes. Ainsi il y en a pour les plus petits comme pour les grands. J’ai acheté ce jeu notamment pour ma fille qui est gauchère et pour qui la gestion de l’espace est plus compliquée que un droitier. ( attention ce n’est pas péjoratif, bien au contraire mais si vous ne savez pas pourquoi renseignez vous sur le web car je ne peux faire un cours d’anatomie du cerveau ici ;-) Plusieurs façon de jouer : soit vous faites un concours de rapidité sur le même motif. Soit chacun fait le maximum de motif dans un temps imparti... bref vous l’aurez compris je suis conquise ! Si mon commentaire vous a été utile n’hesitez pas à cliquer sur le bouton juste en dessous pour dire qu’il l’est.

4歳の子どもが夢中になって遊んでいます。 選んで良かったです。

Pros: Es un juego que favorece las destrezas visoespaciales. Lo puedes jugar de manera individual o grupal. Los chicos se divierten y se entretienen. Ideal para jugarlo como una actividad dentro del aula. Contras: La caja es, para mi gusto, demasiado grande para el material.

Lo compramos para que pudieran jugar los niños de 7 y 3 años, cada uno en su nivel evidentemente. Con el pequeño jugamos a intentar hacer el dibujo, aunque acaba siendo juego libre, y con el mayor a conseguir la figura lo más rápido posible. Recomendable.
