Tangoes Classic Tangram Logic Puzzle Game with 54 Challenges for Ages 5+ | Fun math game | Geometric Shapes | Play solo or head to head | Compact travel-friendly carry case!

I ordered these as a hands-on activity for the kids I tutor. I've used these successfully with a 7th grader, a 6th grader, and a 3rd grader. They are fun and challenging for all ages! My third grade pupil likes to make up stories about the pictures as she works on the puzzles. I like the fact that there are two sets of shapes so that I can work on the puzzle at the same time as my student. The pieces are sturdy and nice to touch. The whole package is slim enough to fit easily in my messenger bag; it's about the same size as a scientific calculator. Working on Tangoes makes a great break from traditional math lessons and teaches the very important skill of being able to break a big geometric shape up into smaller shapes. This skill is crucial for tasks like finding the area of an irregular shape.

Had this for my children and now bought for the grandchildren. It’s good for gifted prep and fun for the whole family. We also take it to restaurants for the kids and perfect for keeping them occupied when traveling. It’s fun to see how the skills and speed advance!

I received Tangoes as a gift over ten years ago. I have since given it as a gift to my children, nieces, nephews, and friends' children. Each Tangoes game has two sets of seven pieces so that one or two can play. You put the pieces together to form the shape shown on the card--there can be more than one way to create a shape. There's a key on the back of each card that shows a solution. Players quickly learn to visualize how the seven pieces can be used to make the different parts of the shape. Tangoes is very portable: the box shown in the picture securely holds the cards and the pieces. Some of the shapes are easy and others can be quite challenging. There are also additional decks of cards that can be purchased and you can even create your own shapes. It's a very entertaining game that everyone can play!

My partner and I love this game! It's fun to race with each other, but it's also really good for my brain to figure out the puzzles. Highly recommend!

Tangoes is a great game to just pick up a play for a few minutes when you're bored. Some of the shapes can be surprisingly challenging to complete. Having two sets of shapes makes it fun to play either competitively or independently. If it came with a larger selection of puzzle shapes I'd give it five stars. It would also benefit from a easy-medium-hard rating for each card. The small box that everything fits neatly in makes it easy to take along.

Husband and daughter love this game.

Everything about this set is high quality and well thought out. The container slides apart so there are no accidental drops which could lead to losing pieces. The cards are designed to fit in a slot in the box for playtime, while concealing answer keys. Everything seems as if someone who actually plays games designed this. I’m actually using this for older people to keep the neurons working!

I have had this game for years. If you love puzzles, tetras, then this game is for you. It stimulates the mind. You can do it by yourself or with others. Very compact, ready for travel mode.
