In our fast-paced world we are constantly confronted with split-second decisions and incoming events that tax our already weary minds. How about an iPhone game that allows quiet contemplation and elicits inner peace? Pattern Blocks is a game that lets you drag blocks around to create interesting mandala-like designs. It is based on an actual set of antique blocks that I played with as a child on my grandmother's living room floor. You can print your designs, save a snapshot to the photo album on the iPhone or iPod Touch, share them on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or email them around the world. You can also flip the current pattern over and display the backside of the current blocks. You can also load and save designs to the "gallery", allowing you to keep your favorite designs and modify them later.
