The Tangram Farm STEAM learning game includes only long-lasting, high-quality materials that feel good in player hands:

• 48 extra-thick cardboard tiles featuring 24 colorful farm-inspired Tangram puzzles and solutions (2.3"x2.3")

Each of the 24 colorful farmyard designs in the game can be created with the same 7 tangram shapes!

How to Play

Tangram Farms offers 2-4 player and solo modes. Each level of play can include easier or more difficult puzzles, offering a fun, accessible challenge for all ability levels! This is a game that players can grow into and come back to over and over again. 

Level 0- 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 1- 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 2- 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 3 - Puzzle Solver: Same rules as Puzzle Builder, but a player who turns over two cards without making a match can try to go again by solving a tangram puzzle. The player who didn't make a match can solve a revealed tangram puzzle card (the solid tangram design) to go again. If the puzzle can be solved by within 1 minute, the player who didn't make a match gets to go again.

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. 

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!
