Description: A unique logic puzzler that can be played alone or as a logic race against other players. Using their visual imagination players try to find the quickest and simplest way to move 3 animals from a starting configuration to a given target arrangement using 5 predefined movements. Beautifully crafted wooden animals put a cute facade on what can sometimes become a brain twisting puzzle.
Players start each round with a given initial position of 3 animals on two tree wood stumps. Using any of 5 predefined movements, (4 movements for the expert level), players try to find the quickest and simplest series of moves that will make the animals move from their initial position to a new target position. As each permitted move is associated with a syllable, when playing in a group, the first player to shout the series of syllables that correspond to their proposed solution – wins the round.
This clever, quick and, when played in group- funny, game is sure to enchant!

Experimentation with forms
Description: Players use the 18 enclosed precision-cut geo-blocks to construct each of the 60 two dimensional shapes illustrated in the enclosed challenges book. Initial challenges are easy, however, as players progress in the game, the challenges become more sophisticated requiring rather creative thinking. A simple color coded progress indicator allows players to track their advancement. Tangramino is an all time classic toy that will captivate children and adults alike.

Initially, the puzzles are illustrated on a scale of 1:1 allowing players to experiment on the puzzle surface itself. As players advance, the illustrated models are reduced, thereby introducing the concept of scale. In addition, players are required to use the pieces horizontally and vertically, exposing them intuitively to more advanced concepts in geometry. Tangramino offers creative play for players 6 years and over.
