This has probably been out for a while, but I picked one up for the nieces and nephews to play with over the holidays…they had a blast with the original when it came out, and so did the rocket scientist who lives next door to my folks. (Couldn’t get him to go home.)Chuckle!
They are the most wonderful puzzles - you will spend hours trying to move the little roller ball along the path, things fly around in it and you have to catch the ball on the little tie-fighters and move them to a new place to continue the path…the ball falls off and you have to start over… you have to turn it a certain way to keep from dropping the ball off the path…spin it sometimes…
My nephew solved the first one in about six hours of constant play…I have yet to make it all the way around…i can’t spend enough time with it.
My kids have the original and an Epic. My 9 year old is quite good, but I’m pretty sure even still hasn’t been able to do the Epic from start to finish. Luckily they have check-points.
A couple of them ended up as Secret Santa gifts at work. The boss very firmly banned them from the office, they were too disruptive (ie: we were spending WAY too much time playing) LOL.
