How to Play
Each of the 24 colorful farmyard designs in this tangram game can be created with the same 7 tangram shapes! So, in addition to using your memory to make matches between tangram puzzles and solutions, you can sharpen your problem solving skills by using the 7 wooden tangram pieces to build or solve the tangram puzzle.
Multiple Levels of Difficulty
With options for 1 - 4 players, and a range of adaptive play for all ability-levels, TANGRAM FARM is a game that players can grow into and come back to over and over again. Each level of play can include easier or more challenging puzzles, offering a fun, accessible challenge for all ability levels!
Level 1 - Pattern Match: All tiles are turned over face-up, so that all tangram puzzles and solutions are shown. Players take turns matching tangram puzzles to solutions to develop abstraction and pattern matching skills. Once a match is made, a player should name the puzzle. Especially fun for the youngest players!
Level 2 - Memory Match: 12 - 48 tiles are placed face-down. Players alternate turns slipping over two tiles to find matching tiles featuring pairs of adorable farm-inspired animals, plants, and buildings. Players who make a match get to go again! The player with the most matching tiles at the end of the game wins.
Level 3 - Puzzle Builder: Same rules as Memory Match, but once a match has been made the player making the match uses the solution card in the match to build the Tangram puzzle using the wooden Tangram pieces. If the other player notices a mistake in the final version of the wooden pieces, then the player who just made a match loses their extra turn.
Level 4 - Puzzle Solver: Same rules as Puzzle Builder, but a player who turns over two cards without making a match can try to solve a tangram puzzle to go again. If the other player notices a mistake in the solution, the extra turn is lost.
Level 4 - Puzzle Racer: Tiles are stacked face-down. Player alternate tuning over tiles one at a time, then race to see who can build the design or solve the puzzle the fastest. (requires an extra set of tangrams).
Expert Play: Puzzle Teacher: (Ages 12+) This version is played with 4 players (two teams of two players). Players carefully construct step-by-step instructions to explain to their partner how to solve or build a tangram puzzle. One player from a team picks a tile from a stack of tiles without showing the puzzle to their teammate. That player must provide instructions to their teammate to build the puzzle within 1 minute to keep the tile. If the other team notices a mistake that team gets the tile instead. The team with the most tiles wins!
