Award Winning Educational Game - Katamino is another well-crafted and designed All-WOOD educational game for Kids.
Katamino is an ever changing puzzle, a stimulating brain teaser and a little construction set all in one. The aim is to build perfect units called "Pentas" by placing a certain number of pentaminos on the game board.
Independent studies in the U.K. (including an educational thesis) show that Katamino helps to develop and maintain Manual Dexterity, Spatial Awareness, Geometric
concepts and Logical Reasoning.
For this reason Katamino has also won a number of international 'educational' awards.
Packaged with a colourful demonstration booklet showing numerous puzzles and freestyle designs.
Katamino will keep the kids entertained for hours time and again, all the while learning without even noticing.
Katamino is a remarkable puzzle game.
It is based upon 12 geometric shapes known as pentominoes. The puzzles consist of fitting selections of these shapes into a rectangular box starting with the small and fairly easy 3x5 box up to a challenging 12x5 box.
The beautifully illustrated booklet that comes with the game includes 500 distinct puzzles ranging from easy to very difficult.
There is also a simple but compelling two or three player strategy game and a number of stand up shapes that you can create.
