Single person brain teaser game for children age 7 and upwards.

Choose one of the eighty challenges.  They start easy but get harder and harder as you work through the book.

You'll be told the outcome of the battle between the two pirate ships and the 4 navy ships, which side ends up being sunk and which victorious. Place the two rock pieces where indicated on the board and then work out where to place all the ships.  Each ship has canons on both sides, so if you place them side by side, both ships sink.  If you place them side on, just one will sink.

Single person brain teaser for anyone aged between 7 and 99.

Described as the ultimate solitaire; place the four magnetic base plates together to form your playing board and then try to position the twelve coloured pieces.  It's not always too easy.  There is a booklet with 60 challenges to get you going but any number of different challeges are possible.  Good luck.

Please have a look at the video for more details.

SG540

Excellent little 3D brain game from Smart Games for children 6 years upwards.

Choose one of the 48 puzzles from the booklet and build the little car putting the four coloured pieces in the correct positions.  This is something we keep on the counter in the shop and we like to challenge children to do it. Normally they can do the easier ones quite quickly but the harder ones towards the back of the book cause a bit of head-scratching.

SG511

Test your brainpower by manoeuvring the squirrels around the board so that they drop the nuts in the holes.

Single player brain teaser game for children aged 6 onwards.  There is a booklet with 60 different challenges. The early ones are relatively straightforward but the harder ones will stretch many an adult.

SG425

.

Elegant brain teaser game for children aged 7 and over.

Comes with a booklet containing 80 challenges that get harder and harder, with the latter ones stretching many an adult.  Choose a challenge and place the temples on the board in the correct positions. Then try to connect them using the roads and bridges supplied.  Adding the dragon in should make it just a little bit easier.

The video below explains how the game works without the dragon.  

Another of the Smart Games we keep on our shop counter.  This is really for children 3 to 6 year olds but it still makes many adults think.

There is a booklet with 48 challenges telling you where to place the pigs on the board.  In the first half, it is daytime and the wolf is not around, so you position the three houses on the board with the pigs outside the houses.  In the second half, the wolf appears, so you have to place the houses in such a way that the pigs are safely inside and the wolf outside.

The video explains it better:

SG023

Cat Crimes is a single player brain game in which you have to identify which of the six cats committed the crime. So choose a challenge card, put the crime token on the board and then using the clues on the card work out where each of the cats were sitting.  The one sitting opposite the token is the culprit.

Age suitability: 8 years+

This is the brain game that everyone knows.  Voted one the best 25 toys of the last twenty five years and approved by Mensa, it deserves to be so well known.  Personally I find it infuriatingly difficult, so much so that when demonstrating it, I have had to memorise how to do one of the easier challenges and then hope that no one asks me to show them how to do any of the other challenges.

You set the board up as detailed in one of the 40 challenge cards.  Then you have to slide the other vehicles out of the way so that your little red car can escape.

Single person brain game.
