This game can be adapted to use for almost any age. You can do a 2 person game competing to put the last piece in - this is enjoyable for my 4yo and 6yo. Or you can set up the pieces per a list of instructions (instructions start with easy set ups and progress to challenging) which is suitable for slightly older kids (maybe 6+) but also adults (the most challenging pages are a great brain challenge for most adults!).

My 4 yo & 6 yo grandkids couldn’t keep their hands off this toy! Very stimulating. Although plastic, pieces were well constructed and the tray kept them enclosed. Definitely would recommend!

This is our second Kanoodle game. We bought it for Christmas because our 6 year old loves the original. This one is similar to Connect 4 and tetris where you have to think ahead a bit. My 4 year old likes messing around with it and my 8 year old plays with it more than my 6 year old. It's small enough for travel - but don't lose the pieces!

Got this based on a friend's recommendation. My six year old son loves it. I was surprised to see that he was able to understand the instructions quickly and beat me consistently in the game.

Kanoodle Gravity is a challenging and fun puzzle game that tests your spatial reasoning and logic skills. The game consists of a vertical board with 10 slots and 12 colorful pieces that have different shapes and sizes. The goal is to fit all the pieces on the board without any gaps or overlaps, following the clues given by the puzzle cards. There are four levels of difficulty, from beginner to expert, and 40 puzzles in each level. The game is suitable for ages 7 and up, and can be played solo or with a friend.Kanoodle Gravity is a great way to exercise your brain and improve your problem-solving abilities. The game is easy to set up and play, and the pieces are durable and colorful. The puzzles are varied and challenging, and require you to think creatively and strategically. The game also has a self-contained design, so you can store the pieces and cards inside the board and take it anywhere.

My 10 year old has several of these Kanoodle sets. This set is a bit different than the original sets. She thought it was fun and did many of these on her own. Good for a child that likes to be challenged!

My 8-year-old daughter and I have another version of Kanoodle (Kanoodle head-to-head, Amazon product ID: B078XHBSLT) and loved it. It helped give her a better understanding of shape and spatial awareness whilst at the same time being a fun little game. And this version, Kanoodle Gravity does the same.This Kanoodle is again pocket-sized (bonus as it takes little storage space unlike many another board game, and also makes this a portable game), with a connect-4 style (albeit much smaller) 6-by-5 grid with ten Tetris-style pieces which can fit inside it. The “gravity” part is because the pieces can only be inserted at the top and then fall to the bottom. There is also a game booklet that can sit inside the Kanoodle game board between uses (so shouldn’t get lost).There is a one-player mode (or co-op as we have been doing) and a two-player mode. The one-player mode sees the player setting up the board as per one of 40 layouts in the instruction-book. These layouts fill part of the grid with some of the Tetris-style pieces with the player having to fill the rest with the remaining pieces without leaving any gaps. At the end there should be no pieces left over. The first of these layouts are easy as there is only one piece left over which is used to fill the gap (I think they didn't need to start that basic but that's maybe just me), but the layouts become progressively more difficult, and the more difficult ones took us some time to do.The two-player game sees the players take turns in inserting pieces to the grid. The first player to go above the top of the grid loses so the object of the game is to force the other player over the top. This is a great game because a child can beat an adult at it, and my daughter does indeed beat me as much as I beat her. I prefer this to other games where the adult has an unfair advantage due to experience or dexterity even though this is a game of skill rather than luck.Overall this is a learning tool that is also a fun little game. It successfully makes learning (of shape and space) fun for children and it also doesn't have any batteries which is refreshing in this day and age.

Offers a good range of play activities for younger children (pattern matching) to older (strategy and outcome based). Nice to also have a physical toy for a change rather than a digital one - good for travelling and just generally a bit of different mentally challenging play.
