A mini version of Ingenious. Good for two people. A little bulky for a travel edition of a game, but we enjoyed playing it at the pool on our recent Hawaii vacation. Counter pegs are a bit small, making them a little difficult to pick up and easy to drop. But the playing tiles fit well on the board. We would bring it on a driving trip in the future, but not likely on a flying trip.

I bought this becasue I was looking for a good 2 person game to ttake on vacation with us. The reviews of this game seemed great, and I have to agree that its a great game. It take s a few games to figure out your "best" strategy, but that is part of the fun. Since our vacation I've played it with others, and it seems oce people play once they want to keep going. I would suggest the first time you play with a new player that you"help" them find the best way to play their tiles for the first game so they get the idea quickly. Good fun!

We picked this game up easily -- rules and scoring. It's fun -- challenging to figure out where to place your tiles and rewarding when you find just the perfect spot. Good for kids and adults.

I was turned on to this game by boardgamegeek. They suggested getting the travel version of this game, and I'm glad we did. The game itself is fairly simple and easy to play and score, but the travel version seems perfect for the concept, as the tiles lock onto the gameboard. We're planning on taking this game on any trips we take.
We like games like Dominion, Settlers of Catan, and Carcassonne more, but this is good for a different type of game.

This is a two player game that really makes you think & plan each tile you place. My husband & I love playing it. We are pretty evenly match in strategy, so what makes the difference is luck. If you don't have the right colored tile when you need it, you lose. We like the fact that it's the last place scoring pegs that decides the game. I bought the travel edition because the tiles lock in place as you play. They could improve the scoring pegs & holes, as the pegs fall out easily. Overall we think this is a terrific game.
