- Addictive
We have owned this game for years and whole family still thoroughly enjoy playing it. Originally and rather pretentiously it was called Mensa as it was designed by people belonging to Mensa. Don't let that put you off though as it is a quick game to pick up. It involves matching colours (or shapes for the colour blind) in as long a string as possible to reach a specific total. Matching one colour only is no good as all six have total goals to obtain.

The tiles are tough and durable and the board is robust. It can be played by 5 year olds on a simple level but is great for teenagers and the rest of the family. You can play tactically and if you want to play dirty you can block your opponents (but expect the same in return). Every ... Read More:

- Best game we've ever bought
I am about to buy our 3rd set of this game. The original one is played in our family with our 2 boys aged 12 and 10 and we play it more than any other game we have. The other two sets are for friends' children who have played the game at our house and loved it (right, that's it, no more friends round ...). It is easy to pick up and suitable for younger children too, as they really only need to be able to match. Strategy comes into it later as you get competitive ...

Overall, a great game.

- Fun, catchy and easy to learn
We got this game for our son's Christmas this year (he is nearly 7)and I don't think there has been one day it has not been used since! We all absolutely love it. It took 5 min to learn (mainly how to count the points), you can play adults vs kids and it is very addictive.
I bought the travel version: we have many games and space is becoming a premium in the games cupboard, and we were abroad for Xmas so it had to fit in our suitcase easily. It is indeed quite compact but nicely finished. The fabric bag for the tiles is very handy. The only thing that could be improved on are the scoring "pins" and the point markings: the pins are really small, hard to handle and easy to loose if you play in the car or on the plane for instance, the points ...

- Really simple
My family really like playing this game. The rules are dead simple but it seems to have that magic that holds the attention throughout the playing, and makes you want to start another game as soon as one is finished. It also looks good to the eye, indeed it looks amazing when you fill up the board with the coloured tiles. High quality production as well.

- Extraordinary game
Ingenious is just amazing: you never get bored. Our family must have played over 100 times and we are hooked! It's about half strategy and half luck, incredibly simple rules (5 mins should do it) and play will take you around 35 minutes. Ingenious involves laying coloured and symbolled tiles so to score multiple lines of colour.
Imagine Dominoes meets Scrabble and you are warm.
Highly recommended
