Game on: Foodies can get their fix with these brainteasers
22.05.12
Sugar is sweet, and logic is, too.
With Chocolate Fix, you get both. This logical deduction game
features challenge cards, with clues to guide the proper placement
of sweet chocolate pieces. "It's like Sudoku, in a hands-on fun
way," says Charlotte Fixler, communications manager at ThinkFun.
"This is a game you'll want to keep out on your coffee table."
Educational games like Chocolate Fix may just as well be kept on
the kitchen table. That's because food-themed board games feature
everything from playing cards shaped like slices of bread, to
vowels and consonants packaged in a screaming yellow banana, to
playing pieces shaped like real candy.
The goal of Chocolate Fix is to arrange the chocolate, vanilla
and strawberry candy in a tray according to shape (triangle,
circle, square) and color (brown, white, pink). Forty challenge
clue cards, which range from beginning to expert, provide
chocoholics with hours of tactile fun.
"We do have Chocolate Fix apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod,
but we want people to think of the apps as a supplement to hands-on
play," Fixler says.
