My family loves this game! I have purchased 3 editions for our family and a few as gifts over the years. It had great critical thinking games that are so fun. My girls are 21, 17,and 15 and still want to play this!

We love WordARound!  It's the perfect storm of education and fun.  Easy to play, a snap to modify for different ages, and even good for some laughs!  Quite possibly our favorite ThinkFun game yet.

This was a gift for our 7yo for Christmas, who is a math whiz and logic nut.  It was the perfect gift.  It engages his little brain in a different logic puzzle every time we play.  If you play to 30, like the instructions say (a codemaker gets 1 point for every guess the codebreaker takes), he beats me every time. He is better at logic! He always solves in fewer guesses than I do.

This is a very fun game, and an excellent exercise in logical thinking and analysis for children ages 8 and up (or 7 and up if they're a math and logic nut like mine!)

Fantastic game. I play regularly with my family, including my 7 year old nephew, who picked it up very quickly.  Highly recommended for a fun game that requires some thinking!

This game is really fun and really gets you thinking.  You need to learn to stratagize with the other players.

I have the older version of this game, so I can't comment on the quality and durability of this version. However, I do know that the quality and durability of the older version is wonderful. My students love to play this game and ask for it often. I use it to teach asking/answering question, teaching categories, articulation practice, vocabulary, etc. It is a quick game to play, and I can often give each student a turn to pick a card and answer questions from his/her peers in a 20 minute session. If you are looking for a fun, educational game to play with a child, I would highly recommend this game!

I'm a middle school language arts teacher for gifted students.  The students love this game; it adapts well to small group or whole group play.  It definitely increases vocabulary and cognition!!  Highly recommend :)

My middle school students LOVE this game. The cards provide context for the concepts while providing solid answer choices (2-4) which provide additional scaffolding. The kids have a lot of fun checking their responses in the fingerprints on the back of the cards. I wish the decoder magnifying glass was a bit more robust - it's starting to peel and I know I'll need to mend it soon. However, as this is only a small part of the game I don't feel it's worth deducting a star. My students actually ask to play this educational (!!) game, which makes it a 5-star product in my book!

This game is great!  It is just as much fun today as it was years ago when we were kids.  It's educational, too, as it encourages deductive reasoning.

Highly recommended!

Love this game! Lots of fun, eight rounds of three turns for each player. There's no dice rolling, just deciding where to send each "worker" (blue or red action piece) on the board. Collect your resources, spend them on barns, fences, feeding troughs, or new animals, and of course block your opponent. There are rules to keeping those critters that make it a puzzle sort of game, and then there is counting at the end to determine who gets the most points and wins the game. The number of animals is generally the top point value, but added "expansions" to your farm and more buildings can get more points too. A lot of fun and reminds one of Catan, though the boards are nothing alike. The pieces are either sturdy cardboard of a sort or little wooden pieces. My only complaint is that they should've made more tiles representing four of a kind animals and a few more wooden animal pieces, as my hubby and I regularly use up all the sheep and sometimes all the pig pieces in most of our games.
I highly recommend this game to anybody who likes a good challenging game.

Fun game! Makes you think! Bought for a 5 year old and he quickly sped through the starter challenges, but plenty of harder ones left to challenge him. I tried a few of the master challenges and completed them, but not without some serious trial and error. Great for a kid who likes puzzle type games. Great spatial learning and problem solving. I love SmartGames and have purchased about five of them - thrilled with all of them!

Love this game. I play it with people who love to think.

My students love this game. It is such a conversation starter and it enlists active listening, understanding and acceptance. I would highly recommend this game to school based clinicians who work with children. Great for small groups.

Our family is having so much fun with this game.  It makes you think about what words really mean and it's funny when you discuss why you chose a word that others would not think matched.  It's interactive and thought provoking!  It also causes you to see things from a different angle than you might normally.

Great game! While the rules are fairly easy to pick up on after running a game or two... there are so many possibilities! It is generally designed for a one team vs another team scenario but the ways you can utilize this game don't end there.  You can be a one reader vs all in an attempt to work on word association skills (wonderful for improv practice!).  It's a great game to help groups learn how their brains work. Overall a fun game with a lot of replay-ability.  The only downside is that if are a big board game person and play it often with the same group of people some folks will develop associations that have the potential to give an unfair advantage.

However, I don't necessarily play this game to win, I play to see how creative we can be.

I would definitely recommend and even buy this game for a friend (A friend had brought it to a few different game nights and I decided it best to get a copy of my own for when he's not around).

Great thinking game for all the family! Our family of 3 generations of engineers plays this and sometimes it stumps us! Great fun and excellent for children learning operations..

My 7th graders LOVE this game! They are a little old for it, but I decided to start them out on this one before moving them up to the more challenging versions. We are currently playing the integers version of 24. They love it too!
