It's a really simple game that helps kids get the idea of creating sets of same color-different shapes, or same shapes-different colors. I love that they are wood and they have a nice feel to them. The pieces come in a bag so play, clean-up, and storage are easy. I also enjoy games you can play across language barriers or games that do not require reading (we host across ages and cultures). You can play this game between generations as well. Gentle game for spending time together.
