The Best Mind Games (Sorry this review is so long)
My favourite is SUMMIT SOLITAIRE. The premise is quite simple. Starting with the first screen, a few or many playing cards will be shown face up. You have a stack of cards and a discard pile. The last card discarded is available to play. You play on the discard pile by selecting an exposed card on your desktops that is either 1 more or 1 less than the last card on your discard pile. It sounds simple, but it is really a game of strategy to select an exposed card that has other cards on your desktop that can subsequently be played immediately. So, for example, if you started with an Ace on top of your discard pile, you could select a King or Deuce to cover that card, then select Three to cover the Deuce or a Queen to cover the king... and so on. The first time you play, you will enter a tutor practice round that will also introduce you to other features;urges like wild cards and missiles. At the end of the game, your score is represented as a percent up to 100% to show how well you performed against others who have played the game you just finished. 100% indicates you are on top and played better than anyone else. I would rate this game 5 out of 5.
QUIZ BUFF is a trivia game with multiple choice answers. I am not a big fan of this game. I would rate this game 1 of 5. Too much trivia of places that I am not familiar with.
WORD EXPLORER is a great exercise in building vocabulary. The tutorial starts with 4 letters from which you have to make words to fill a crossword-type grid. As you advance to higher levels, you will be given 5 or 6 letters to work with. A 6-letters, the will always be at least one 6-letter word which can be selected. There are two boosts - two to show one letter in the grid and two to reveal 2 words in the grid. This is a good brain and vocabulary builder. Rating: 4 of 5
BLOCK BUST reminds me of Tetris, but you move the groups of blocks into play instead of them dropping automatically. Rating 4 of 5;
MATCH MASTER is a game where you have to find items that match. They appear in a pile sometimes with only a fraction of the item exposed. Your progress and there number of a particular item left are displayed. The game is over when you have found all the items that match the ones shown or until your inventory is full and you cannot add any more items. Rating: 2 of 5.
GRIDLOCK ESCAPE displays increasingly complex road maps with increasingly complex grid patterns. Try to clear the gridlock using the arrow clues printed on the top of the cars and trucks while avoiding collisions Rating: 3 of 5.
BRAINY BOLTS is a tricky exercise. You start with a bunch of pieces that are screwed to a wall and there are 3 empty holes. The idea is to remove screws that free up the pieces allowing them to fall to the bottom.as you remove pieces, additional holes appear that you can use for other removed screws. The game is over when all pieces have been released. I found this was the most difficult game to play requiring planning and strategy. Unfortunately there is no undo and you can't change your mind once you have taken the screw out and moved it to an empty holes. Fortunately you have a drill which can drill one extra hole and a hammer that can smash 1 piece. Your only other tool is a screw driver that can remove or screw in a screw. Rating: 4 of 5.
ANTIQUE HUNT is a game where you have to find items in a cluttered room. The items you must find are displayed at the bottom of the screen. You click on the item in the room that you think matches and, if so. It disappears from the list. The game is over when they have all disappeared. Rating: 2 of 5.
SUDOKU is a familiar game for anyone who likes numeric puzzles. This version displays when you have entered a wrong number. The squares that conflict with your entry turn red. Note that this game will only display an error based on whether the number you entered is in the same 9-number block or in the same row or column. It will not alert you to an error if the number you entered has not been entered in its correct row or column or block. Rating: 5 of 5.
Overall, this a great package of mind games.
