Durable and Engaging
This puzzle has lasted through 3 children.All 3 of my children have enjoyed putting together this puzzle, generally starting around age 3 (with some help).There are discrete items, colors, etc. that really help kids figure out where pieces go.All in all, a fabulous purchase.Ravensburger cardboard pieces fit together extremely well, hold up, and have clean-cut edges that don't rip or bend easily. ...

Fun party activity
I bought 3 sets (9 puzzles) for my daughter's birthday party, so all the kids got a great take-home memento and it only cost me about $5/child!All it takes is a craft table with markers, glitter, stickers, etc, digital pix of the kids printed on regular paper, and with a bit of help they made great-looking party puzzles.Lots of fun here, and a great "quiet" activity to settle the party down a bit. ...

Editorial Review

Oh, it's an "eye catcher" all right. And before you're finished withthis maddeningly, frustratingly addictive pursuit, you'll be calling it "Cross- eye catcher." It's the kind of panic-inducing, color-coded race against timethat plays as if Rubik himself went out drinking with a gang of Mensa members,then decided to design a new eye chart. Alone or in teams, players attempt tomatch the 16 colored tiles to their corresponding squares on the board in undera minute. Ah, but there's a catch: each tile is composed of four triangles, eachof those sporting one of five colors; and while one tile may contain the samefour colors as another, the colors will be positioned differently. You'll spenda lot of time twisting them around to find the perfect board match--only todiscover that yellow and purple are transposed. Perfect for solitaire or partyplay (especially the hilarious Team Challenge, where two players match and grabsimultaneously on the not-so-big board), Eyecatcher will make cockeyed optimistsout of many a gathering. --Tony Mason ...

Fun at first...
This game is fun at first.Then, you get the idea, and it wears off.This is definitely NOT a party game, as each turn takes one minute to complete. If you have six or eight people playing, it can take six or eight minutes until your turn comes around. In the meantime, you, and the other players are just sitting around waiting. My 8 year old daughter likes to play it with me.It is educational for her. Otherwise, leave it.

Addictive.
I gave this game 5 stars for fun, mostly because anything that is addictive should certainly get five stars.The game is a brain (or should I say Eye) teaser.It looks simple, but it is deceptively difficult.I have not yet been able to place more than 5 tiles (out of 16 tiles) on the board during my 1 minute turn.(I'm 24 years-old and obviously must need training in color identification).No, but seriously, since there is a timing element you do not have all day to decide.My opponents are constantly tormenting me with "wrong, wrong, wrong" - which makes me even more nervous and they foil my turn.I, of course, do the same thing to them.Your opponents do need to pay attention during your turn, as it is normal for people to think they got a match, only for an opponent to point out it is "wrong, wrong, wrong".Addictive, Addictive, Addictive...they are going to have to take me or the game away.Good simple - but difficult! - fun.The problem is that you can also play the game solitaire, which makes you into a 'closet player'.

One for the senses!
Someone said this game has elements of Rubik's Cube to it, and they were right. But I think it has two distinguishing features - a timer component to add suspense, and the option of playing against others. And this latter point is key, not least because it doesn¹t matter how big your gathering might be (just take turns). When no one else is around, it is enjoyable just to play on your own and test yourself against the scoring chart on the sheet (I'm getting better all the time, though still far from reaching the top ofthe scale). The game is more complex than it might look, and it really is impossible to memorize the squares on the board (my family and I have adopted a policy of twisting the board around after each person¹s turn to make it even more challenging). You can also forget about trying to develop a pattern or 'system' with the game tiles because you pull each one randomly anyway! There's no way around it: you have to stay focused each and every time. Basically, it's a smart and versatile little game in a compact box. ... Read more

Kids lost interest
I got this for my 4 & 7 year olds and they got bored after a few minutes and have never touched it again.The chairs are way too slippery for little hands to stack.They've never touched it since.I like it, but nobody will play it with me!

fragile fun
My daughters (4.5 and 3) found this toy on display at the San Francisco MOMA, and I could not get them off the floor again. They just stacked the chairs, watched the tower collapse, and laughed -- so we came home with a set. Curiously, one could see the personality of the kids as they play -- one of my girls would always stack the chairs neatly to maintain balance, while the other would just drop them one on top of the other without much apparent order. Surprisingly, given the instability of the construct, statistically both approaches yield similar results. In that sense the "educational value" is somewhat undermined. To be fair, it did teach the girls to accept failure even when they try their best. The durability is POOR. When we opened the package there were three broken chairs and we suffered two more casualties since (without much roughing). Nevertheless, it is still a fun game after dinner just for laughter.

It's not about winning. It's about the interaction.
Enjoyable, creative and loads of fun. I play only with adults and we have a blast with this game. Once you examine the chairs and understand the potential of each you then can have a challenging game. It makes you think. Physics, gravity, balance, hand co ordination. My whole family loved it when I took it to our reunion. One woman wanted to take it home. I did give her the phone # from the tin. I highly recommend this game. My boyfriend and I spend hours stacking chairs! ... Read more
