I received Tangoes as a gift over ten years ago. I have since given it as a gift to my children, nieces, nephews, and friends' children. Each Tangoes game has two sets of seven pieces so that one or two can play. You put the pieces together to form the shape shown on the card--there can be more than one way to create a shape. There's a key on the back of each card that shows a solution. Players quickly learn to visualize how the seven pieces can be used to make the different parts of the shape. Tangoes is very portable: the box shown in the picture securely holds the cards and the pieces. Some of the shapes are easy and others can be quite challenging. There are also additional decks of cards that can be purchased and you can even create your own shapes. It's a very entertaining game that everyone can play!

A fun learning game. Arranging the pieces in various configurations to make the shape shown on each card is more challenging than you think! Builds good spatial relationship skills. Good game for all ages, as kids with good spatial skills can beat adults. Nice compact size is good for travel, too. Can play solo, as well.

This is one of my favorite puzzles - it is fun, can be played alone, in pairs, or in groups, across ages - grandparents and gkids work really well.

The spatial-logic part of your brain which is exercised here is normally not used as often as the language-word processing part, so it is very relaxing to sit and try out a few of the puzzles.

Ages 5+ definitely get it - initially by looking at the answers on the back, but later without help.

One of my favorite mathematical kinda gifts to give.

Priced just right for a birthday gift or stocking stuffer, it is a good toy to take with you on a car trip or put in your purse for your child to play while waiting at a doctor's office. I recommend for solitary play for the 9 to 12 year old child, either boy or girl.

This is a great family game. We first played this game while at friend's house. We fell in love with it and had to have our own.

This is a great game, both for fun and for development of spacial skills. Very challenging! Even puzzles I have done before are difficult the 2nd and 3rd time around!

I love this game and think it is one of the best games possible for any child. Working with shapes is definitely challenging to the mind. I'd guess most kids today can't do this and would give up pretty easily especially if you don't sit down with them and play. This game is a classic. The case is awesome for traveling or just storing and not losing the pieces - plus you have to figure out how they go to put it away.

I bought it for my 3 1/2 year old to work on shapes and replicating other shapes, she doesn't use the cards just repliciates what I make. My husband and I really enjoy the challenge and racing each other. This is a great toy!

I bought this game for my 4 years old nice but soon I had to order another one for me and my husband.
Is very relaxing for both kids and adults and entertaining.Keeps the kids busy for hours.I will recommend this game for
kids over 4 years old but for the parents also.

I really enjoy this game when I have some down time. It is fun to play with my kids or with adults. There are two sets of tangos so you can compete to make the shape.
