"Father's Day Gift Guide" Monkey Pod Games Review/Giveaway CLOSED

#40 degood

 

I love game night with the kids and sometimes that is all we do when we are bored though out the day. But, when it comes to games that make me have to really think well I love them but I can also get really stumped. I know as we get older and we aren't in school are brains aren't learning and working at the rate that they did when we were younger. I mean I am only 28 but, when it comes to games like this I have to think and think sometimes. So, when I had the chance to review a Monkey Pod Game I was so excited since I used to play these sort of games when I was little and well I wanted to see if I could still do it. Plus, these games are a great way to sharpen our minds as well.

About the company and the wood of the product: Monkey Pod Games offers the widest variety of quality wooden brain teasers in the world. We have developed, designed and manufactured hundreds of brain-teaser models and educational puzzles which we sell worldwide and now in the U.S. Our games are educational and fun. We offer a complete range of quality wooden puzzles and complex brain-teasers which offer children the opportunity to apply their talents and develop mathematical awareness as well as logical reasoning and analytical thinking skills.

Monkey Pod Games is named after the Monkey Pod tree, which is the wood from which the puzzles are made. The Monkey Pod tree is found in northern Thailand and around the Pacific. It is ideal for wooden puzzles because it can be cut to very precise dimensions.

For my review I had the chance to review a really cool Monkey Pod Game that really has made my mind work and I am having a blast with it as well is my daughter whom is 7 and when my hubby gets home he will have a blast too.  

Monkey Pod Games Wooden Tangram Set - Large Shape Cards is such a great game and really gets your mind working. It comes in this great wooden box that is actually really pretty too. On the inside it has a divider one side of the cards and the other for the pieces. Don't worry because the top card of the deck shows how to get all the pieces in there for storage. I am very glad for that card because I tried for like over 5 minutes and still couldn't get the pieces back in there. My daughter got a good laugh from me. 

I really like how the cards have 2 sides to them. One side has the shape that you are trying to make with the pieces with no indication on how to make it but the shape it self. If you start having trouble or have been trying to figure it out for a while then just flip the card over and it will show you what pieces to use how. It is really nice because it really gets me thinking and I mean thinking.  

 This is also the perfect size to store and plus little enough to take on vacation or a trip for you to do while you are bored in the motel/hotel at night. Plus, who doesn't want to sharpen their minds I know after playing this game I really need it plus it is fun. I can't wait to for my hubby to get home and see who can get a shape faster him or me. Plus, when your 7 year old is faster and better then you that really lets you know you need this lol!
