Pentago is a brilliant mind-boggling game that nurtures the logical and creative problem-solving skills in children by encouraging them to open their minds to different possibilities and to strategise through forward planning.
I am still grasping with the intricacies of the game, as it involves a lot of twisting and bending of our mental concepts as well as comfort zones. Last night, Big Bee and I spent a quiet evening before bedtime playing this game. I am not sure if it is the late hour (it was 11pm, a treat for Big Bee as today is a school holiday), or if Mummy's poor old rigid mind is just too inflexible - but Big Bee beat me hands down 3 out of 4 games *utterly ashamed*. Big Bee was elated though, and went to bed with a sunny smile on her face.

This game looks interesting. I meant to buy blokus for the longest time but didn't get around to it :-(
viv: Yes, it is super interesting! And Blokus is so fun - it is a must-buy!
oh thanks for the recommendation. I will look for it.
