Product Information

We were recently sent The Genius Star from The Happy Puzzle Company which can be played solo or as a 2 player game. It turns out that this was because packaging had been kept to a minimum and there was no unnecessary plastic.

Then add in the fact that there are over 62,000 puzzle combinations to go at and solve, it makes it an excellent and challenging game for the entire family.

Over Christmas they challenged aunts and uncles, grandmas and grandads and it provided many hours of entertainment!If you have previously played the now legendary Genius Square , you will find The Genius Star’s puzzles to be significantly more testing! Disclosure: I received this item for free for the purposes of writing an honest and impartial review. Exclusive usage of these games on Mathigon has been licensed by agreement with The Happy Puzzle Company Ltd. The Genius Star is just as fast and frantic as its predecessor but with harder puzzles and the added bonus of the Golden Star makes it so much more interesting. And if that on its own isn’t enough, there is a wonderful twist to each challenging puzzle with the addition of a Golden Star.

You then have to fill in the remaining blanks on your star shaped board with the different sized pieces. With so many different combinations this is a game that will keep children (and adults) entertained these holidays. The aim of the game is to fill the Star by placing all of the coloured pieces into the empty spaces, fitting them around the wooden blocker pieces. On the whole the game was very quick, taking a couple of minutes each round, but sometimes t was more difficult to complete and took longer to solve.The Genius Square is as much fun for children as it is for teenagers and adults, brain-teasing enjoyment for the entire family.

Overall, we have loved The Golden Square in our house, but we love The Golden Star much more – it is so much more challenging, and the Golden Star adds in another challenging element and a bit of extra risk, especially if playing as a two player game and trying to beat your opponent. To play, a player rolls the seven dice and then places the seven blocking pieces on the numbered spaces on the grid. In the run up to the summer holidays I am always on the lookout for compact games that I can pop in my bag to keep the children entertained, whether they are on a plane, car, hotel room or caravan. Inside the box are two plastic star shaped grids, two sets of 11 multi-coloured wooden shapes, two sets of seven blocker pieces (triangles) and seven dice (a mixture of six and eight sided).
