Thinkfun Invasion of the Cow Snatchers
(Thinkfun $29.99)
You get your own UFO to play this challenging and very original game, subtitled Mooove the Magnets Logic Game. It's a brainteaser that involves using your magnetic UFO to beam up cows as you maneuver around and over farm fences. You'll find that you need to internalize the varying heights of those fence barriers, since you have to pick up all the cows at the same time and get them over the obstacles, picking up the red cow last. It’s not easy! In fact, there are 60 challenge cards and the first 40 go from Easy to Super Hard, with 20 Genius level challenges, if that’s who you think you are. Marked for 6 and up, we’d say, probably more like 10 for beginners and all the way up to adult. It’s a solo game that our tester found satisfying, unusual and reportedly forced him to think outside the box.
