Zangle

My friend showed me this game doing a game night. It was so fun my wife and I bought this as well! Highly recommend this for a friend or family game night.

I work with teachers on PD and we had an activity last August where the teachers were given different shapes to add and subtract to do fractions. At the time, I wondered about how the teachers would come up with the addition and subtraction problems. So I love the fact that the shapes were set and that this removed one task for a teacher, especially if they've never used pattern blocks. I also love the Zero cards which emphasize the lack of change in the shape when we add 0. Also dealing with schools with low literacy, so was very happy to have something that works on mathematical thinking without literacy barrier. Left it lying around the house and came downstairs to find 3rd grader and math phobic spouse playing it. (Commend added by 3rd grader: It surprised me how fun it was). Not the intent but I can also see how it could be used to teach addition and subtraction of fractions with the "whole" being defined differently each time.

Good for kids. It’s cheap enough to try once even if you don’t like it

We can't stop playing this game! After dinner, family gatherings even during a break on our last hike. LOL. I love the shape combining. At first I was intimidated, but we started with the Turn-style version of the game. Once we figured out how to make Zangle's, we moved to the fast-paced Speedster version. We are kinda competitive and so since Speedster has no turns it becomes crazy fun!

Easy rules, but strategy important. We use it to play on Zoom with our daughter. We just bend down the screen a bit so she can see enough of our table. Only one person needs to do this.

We've only played it once so far but it was fun and made you think.

Great game when teaching geometry. I use this a station during math time.

Interesting game unlike others
