U-Turn


Blue Orange has a new game out called U-Turn for ages seven and up and for two players. Get ready to build an exciting structure, full of twists and turns and snappy decisions! Flex your mind to build awesome and complex shapes, taking turns snapping on U-shaped bricks to surround one of your dots on the growing, six-sided structure. U-Turn will challenge your visual perception, critical thinking skills and thinking ahead, as each piece you add will affect the future shape of the game.
This game will take 10 minutes the play and the skills learned would be visual perception and problem solving. The contents of the box are 22 U-shaped bricks, drawstring bag, and illustrated rules.
My Opinion: this is a very interesting game when you first look at it and you think it’s like the” Rubik’s cube” but this is totally new and different as you trap the dot of your opponent to win. So, this is unique and challenging for me which I like.

Brix


Brix is a game from Blue Orange is for ages seven and up and two players, the contents of the box are 22 bricks and illustrated rules. The object of the game is to line up four in a row on a whole new level in this one of a kind strategy game! Players build their wall to victory with vibrantly colored blue and orange bricks engraved with white Xs and Os. The first player to align four of their symbol or color in a row wins the game and claims the wall! But watch out! Each brick contains both your symbol and color as well as those of your opponent. So each time you add a new piece, you risk helping your opponent win the game! Brix is a uniquely creative game that is fast to learn but employs a complex strategy that older children and adults will love!
The skills you learned when you play this game are problem-solving, spatial awareness, focus, and attention. The length of the game is 10 minutes.
My Opinion: it’s a very interesting game as you must plan your moves so you don’t accidentally let your opponent win but a fun game. A new version of Connect Four is what comes to mind as I loved playing this as a kid.
