The enrichment teacher at our school had everyone hopping with Katamino. The bright colored polygons fit together in different configurations. You can 'play' singly, or in pairs. My daughter (7th grade) had fun beating her college-level brother. Spatial intelligence is one area that needs more boosting. Katamino is the ticket!

Our kids like it, the adults like it, and a bunch of kids at a recent sleepover had fun with it, too. Two people take turns drawing pieces and then race to see who can fill in their half of the gameboard. There are a number of different variations on the game, but that's the version we use most. It's probably something we'll only use on occasion, but will have fun with when we do. I like it because it teaches our youngest how to visualize shapes going together. My architect husband has a head start on spacial relations and usually breezes through this game. If you liked Tetris you'll enjoy Katamino.
