Simple is often better, it has been said. And The Genius Square, or Genius Square as I’ve always called, is on the face of it a very simple game. But don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s easy or without challenge. I’ve had some games last over 20 minutes and have beaten some in less time than it took me to set up the board. I’ve never had a game beat me yet, although with over 62,000 variations of this puzzle to play maybe the one that will defeat me is lurking in my future. Casual gamer or die hard puzzler, this game has something for anyone looking to try something new. Setup As I said above, I’ve yet to play a game that has bested me. The blurb on the box says that each of the over 62,000 games has a solution. Sometimes more than one. Of all the games I’ve played, which must be over 100 by now, only once did all the players come up with exactly the same solution. And that was the game that took the longest to win, so we all agreed that was likely the only solution.

Or at least, most of the puzzles… are you ready for the challenge of The Genius Square? I don’t regularly pull it from the shelf to play with my wife, we’ve got better two player games. It is fun however, when the kids set it down in front of me, and I like the challenge of it. As you can see from the comments above, my boys have genuine fun with The Genius Square. They are often battling it out between themselves, giving Mum and Dad a break as they amuse themselves away from the lure of electronics. I love this game so much, but there is one thing I would definitely improve with it. The box only comes ready to play for two people, so they should add more sets so that you can play with more than just one or two people. We even bought another whole Genius Square game just so that we could play with three or four people instead of just one or two.
