Fun variety of puzzles and games of different levels of difficulty and complexity. We have been adapting them to brain games in our family but I could see the games being good for quick camp or after school activity programs.

It's a well organized book, easy to go through and fun to play. Although it's structured to suit kids, the ideas / techniques that are in the book can be used in games for older people and for different purposes.
