(More customer reviews)This, like most ThinkFun games, is a solitary thinking game, but my kids really like it. To play, you pick a card and set up the game pieces accordingly. Your goal is to get your man from his starting location to the designated ending location. He can walk along crates and tip them over to get to the next crate (the tipping is quite gratifying to the kids for some reason). Once a crate is tipped over, you can't move it, although you may find yourself backtracking over it. If you are stuck, the answers are printed on the back of each card. When you are finished, toss it into the handy storage bag until the next time you or your kids need an interesting diversion.
It is not specifically an educational game, but it does provides practice in visualization, spatial skills, planning a few moves ahead, and thinking!
I do wish there was an easy way to get replacement pieces. We've lost a couple of crates, but can still play most of the cards.
All in all, a great game.

ThinkFun TipoverYou'll flip over Tipover - an exciting 3-D challenge that's a brainteaser and brain pleaser in one! Players control their own fate using only crates to create paths. The object of Tipover is to get your Tipper playing piece from start to finish by tipping crates to create paths. To start, set up crates of different colors and heights on the game grid to match any one of 40 beginner-to-expert card challenges. Next, tip over the crates to connect your Tipper to the red crate which is your final destination. There's a catch; your Tipper can't jump over empty grid spaces. Only you control your fate by tipping over the right crate. Measures 8.875"W x 8"H x 2.5"D.
