Jaques of London Mind Genius | Wooden Board Games | Logic & Brain Training Strategy Games | Since 1795

Love that it’s wooden. I’ve made a little bag as well for the pieces to go in. I got it as a little after dinner game my partner and I could play and actually our 3 and 5 year old have fallen in love with it too. Although not quite a peaceful play it’s so nice to share these sort of logical games with them. Nicely made and good quality.

Well made and presented item, so nice not to be wrapped in plastic hence environmentally friendly

I bought this game as I am trying to build up my family's board game cupboard with games we can grab and play quickly. I was definitely not dosappointed.The Mind Genius game was delivered promptly and in extremely classy packaging. I was thrilled before I even got to the game.Inside the box was the game board, instructions (printed on paper of very good quality, in an envelope for safe keeping), the wooden pieces and a cloth bag for keeping the pieces in. All wrapped in Jaques printed tissue paper.The game board itself is wooden and of fantastic quality and the same can be said for the game pieces, they are well made and look good.The game itself is a code breaking game, my children aged 10+ have enjoyed playing together over the Christmas period and this is now one of my favourites in our collection.

Great game, sadly some of the pieces are too large for the holes though

This is the second one of these games I have purchased. Jaques of London can always be relied upon for producing good quality, wooden toys and games. They are also packaged as gifts and are a pleasure to give. I can highly recommend them as a company and have purchased many items from them over the years.

Love the look of this retro game, made of wood with good strong coloured pins. Pleasing to the eye.

well made, well packaged & presented, fantastic game to learn and play. This was a gift for my 8yo for her birthday and we must have played in 20 times this month. my 10 yo loves it too and as an adult i find it very interesting and fun too. great to have a wooden game that is for older children. can not say anything bad at all. Even bought as a gift for a friends 10yo too.

There were a few coloured pieces that didn't fit into their holes. Fortunately I was able to sand them down to fit, although for the money, I shouldn't really have to. But more importnantly, I discovered today after playing with someone that there are insufficient white pegs to complete a game.I understand that some people might win quite easily and not require them, but if an opponent (child) is struggling, it is important to have enough white and black pegs to properly indicate which guesses are correct.I have tried to contact the seller, but Amazon keeps sending me in some frustratingly endless loop of wanting me to return it. I don't want to return it, I just want more pieces sent out to me so I can play the game properly.I'm happy to ammend my review and increase my star rating to 5 if the situation is resolved.
