HOW TO PLAY ---------------- Simply place a shape in the holes according to the board & make sure they match up. Once you fill the board, you are left with empty spaces & left over shapes. The challenge is to fit those left over shapes into the empty spaces correctly, completing the board. The puzzles start off easy at first with only a couple of shapes missing. As you master that, the puzzles become more difficult & challenging. FEATURES ------------------ + 4 board types: RECTANGLE, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, HEART. + 2 game modes: TIME LIMIT & JUST RELAX. + Stimulate your childs intellect. + Great for kids, adults and seniors. + Fun to play. + A terrific learning tool.
