See how many symmetrical images you can create by sliding and rotating the tiles in SlideAscope. As tiles are matched and collected, the remaining tiles above will slide down, possibly creating more matches and earning you more points. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins! This Life & Thinking Skills game can be played by 1-5 players ages 8 and up in about 20 minutes.
Evaluation comments:
“This game works on educational skills such as spatial reasoning (figuring out which way to place the tiles to find a match) and critical thinking (analyzing the board and working out which is the best place to place their tiles).”
“This game also helps children learn to take turns, addition (to figure out the score- they try to collect tiles with the highest numbers to win the game.) The tiles, when put together, look like a kaleidoscope- the game encourages the players to see how many symmetrical images they can create by sliding and rotating the tiles.”
“I like that this is based on kaleidoscope and is so colorful. The pieces are well made, and the game is easy to set up.”
“I like that the game encourages the players to think and strategize. I also like that the game can be played alone. This is great for children who need to practice playing the game and learn to strategize before they play with others.”
“I love that this is a hands-on experience and that the time spent playing this game with peers is time off of social media or technology.”
“I think this would be a great game for family game night or for teachers of second/third grade and up to have for those rainy days or as a fun treat for their class. The game can be played for up to five players.”
