Review on Shifting Stones By Gamewright: A Tile-Based Family Strategy Game For Sharpening Visual And Tactical Decision-Making Skills by Yung Rich

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5 minutes to learn - different every time.

Great game. I bought one as a gift for everyone in our extended family. By shifting or flipping nine stones you try to create the pattern shown on the cards you hold. You have to pay for your moves with other cards from your hand, so some planning is required. Literally 5 minutes to learn to play. My eight-year-old granddaughter got the concept right away. Not only fun, but teaches planning ahead, spatial organization, and decision making. The stones are thick, durable cardboard with a 3-D surface. Best to sit side-by-side for the two player game, which is always fun. I highly recommend this game.

Pros
  • This tile-based game is a perfect way to cultivate visual thinking and tactical decision-making skills in children
Cons
  • Can be less enjoyable with fewer players
