My 7 year old son loves this game along with Mom, Dad and 12 year old sister. What is cool about this game is that you get points when you place your tile's colors next to another placed matching tile's colors. The dots on the matched tiles, not yours, are counted towards your score. The game pieces are very durable. A game runs about 30 minutes.

In this day and age of electronic media this is nice little game for the family. Its good for kids under 10 but I think it needs to be a little more challenging to keep older kids engaged. It seems like there should be a way of making a more challenging version. Overall, a good game to get the family together for some quality time.

My family loves games. We play games/cards regularly. Since Qwirkle (also by Mindware) is one of our top favorites, I thought we'd enjoy Dizios, also by Mindware. We've only played the game once, but didn't even make it to the end. It just didn't seem fun to anyone, so we all decided to quit and play something else. Matching one tile at a time was just boring. It wasn't easy matching the colors and corners perfectly, so each turn took a long time. The point value of each turn was low also. It was a very...slow...and....dull...game. There were directions included for a solitaire version. I can see that possibly being fun for my 4 or 7 year old playing alone and matching tiles, kind of like a puzzle. I don't see my family playing Dizios as a group anymore. With choices like Qwirkle, Qwirkle Cube, Blokus, Farkel, Yahtzee, etc... on the shelf, why pick Dizios? ... blah

I purchased this game for my 5 and 3 year old sons based on a review of it in a magzine, but once we played it I got hooked myself. This is a great game for families to play together, adults and kids will enjoy it.

We bought this game because my wife likes to play games with colors and patterns, and sure enough, it turned out to be a very good color and pattern game. The rules are simple enough but gameplay is challenging enough to make it a fun repeatable experience.

My daughter (8) and son (6) enjoy playing this game. If I need to get the kids away from computers and the gaming system, all I have to say is let's play Dizios. Quality family time!!

The whole family loves playing this game. The kids are learning to match up shapes and add points at the same time--not an easy task for an 8 year old!

My 8 year old loves this game! My 6 year old needs a little help and gets frustrated. Overall, it's a great game for the whole family!

I bought Dizios for my 6 year old after seing it advertised in Family Fun Magazine. Although both my daughters enjoy playing, my husband and I have taken it over. There are 70 durable cardboard tiles. Each tile is different point value and in color (such as the colors on the game box). Points are scored by matching tiles by edge/s. Very good thinking game, very easy to learn.

This game is visually stunning AND fun. I've played it with ages 8 through adult and it kept everyone interested. You link up and score these unique swirls like a dominoes game. The included score sheets make it very easy to track the points earned on each move. Large, thick board tiles with nice coating. Good quality product. Highly recommended.
