“Tangram Fury is a surprisingly fun, fast-paced, table-top game based on the ancient Chinese tangram puzzle. What gives this its edge over other tangram games is that this is competitive. Up to 4 players race against each other to build tangram images that are shown on cards. The first to win 5 cards, wins the game. It’s actually a lot more fun than it sounds. Think “competitive Tetris,” but where you physically arrange the pieces. (Don’t tell the kids, but it’s also educational. They’ll think they’re just having a blast and not realize they’re developing their spatial reasoning skills.)”
