Editorial Review

There's good news and bad news about this board game for two to four players. It's fun to play. It provides useful practice of addition and multiplication facts. It requires strategizing to decide how to play on each turn. That's the good news. The bad news is that the rules are rather difficult to figure out, even for an adult. But keep trying--it's a rewarding and educational game after all. Polygon uses numbered tiles that are placed on the game board in ways that achieve a score for each turn. You can play tiles in several ways so you have to add (and sometimes multiply, too) on each turn, as well as at the end of the game. Polygon is a subtle way to practice those math facts painlessly, so it's a good choice for elementary age kids from third through fifth grades. --Marcie Bovetz

Polygon is probably one of Jax's best games, especially in the production department. This a game similar to Tri-ominos in which you need to match numbers and colors. You can also make scores by creating small runs with the numbers. Another added feature is the ability to stack tiles on top of each other to create scoring combinations.

I am also impressed with the overall look of the game. The tiles are very well made with a shiny black plastic, as well as a well-designed game board.

Highly recommended!

I have found this game to be a sub for solitaire. It may be designed for multiple players but I like to play and try to achieve the highest possible score for one person. Sure it is difficult to understand at first, but the best games are.

Being familiar with JAX games, I eagerly awaited POLYGON. It is a challenging game, BUT you must thoroughly read directions before playing, and pay particular attention to game piece orientation. Once mastered, it is a great game. I have played it with one opponent and with 4, seems top be better with 4. The game pieces are durable, they should last a while!
