 Addictive fun for all ages!Mar 23, 2000
This game is so much fun! I purchased it years ago, and raced through it! I am 23 years old, and still like to pick it up once in a while - it challenges me to this day. The cards you are given look easy, but as you work your way through the deck you realize it's not as easy as you think. People of any age group will find it fun, but addictive. As you play, you learn to visualize things in a new way, which is useful in real life. The back of the cards have hints in case you get stuck - one hint shows where a few pieces go; the other hint shows the rest. You can use whichever hint you feel you need more. All around, this is a fun game that doesn't take long to learn and can be enjoyed by everyone!

great fun for the spatially inclinedJul 27, 1999
My 7 year old daughter and I play the dual set brick by brick and race to see who can build the puzzle the fastest! The puzzles are all challenging and great for those interested in mathematical concepts-geometry, espcially and for the spatially-inclined!We recently had adult guests for dinner and my 7 year old entertained them the entire evening with this game and Rush Hour (also by Binary Arts)

Brick by Brick by Binary ArtsDec 11, 1999
Being a school grade teacher, I am often looking for games that will challenge the mind. My children and I found this game both challenging and fun. It does cause younger children a bit of frustration, but they don't want to give up. They just keep trying harder!

Great, inexpensive toy for all ages through adultFeb 18, 2006

The concept seems so deceptively simple - use just five 3-dimensional puzzle pieces shaped like stacked bricks and arrange them into 60 different symmetrical configurations as shown on the supplied deck of cards.
The puzzles to match are on one side of each numbered card and the solutions are on the back.
The little game is a welcome distraction and nicely takes your mind off other things. I'm middle aged and I enjoy it. My little boy likes it and I would bet that seniors would like it too if they have enjoyed puzzles all their lives. I just recommended to my brother for his 20 year old who is recuperating from leg surgery.

 Not as advertised...Feb 12, 2011

From all I understand, this is a great game; however, Amazon needs to tweek the description of this item. What I wanted was the version of the game with plastic bricks that comes with a card deck and a travel case (first 3 or 4 pictures). Skip over to the last picture - this is what I received - the metal version of the game that comes with a booklet, not cards. First of all, I don't feel these versions should be sold as the same item. I was planning to use this as an occasional fun, yet challenging, mental break for our homeschooling curriculum. I can't just hand my kids the booklet with pages full of tiny images and the answers all together. Won't work.
Second, the item was damaged when I received it. Two of the red inlay pieces on the metal (to make it look like bricks) had fallen out and they don't pop back in. You would think the metal version is even nicer than the plastic, but it's not. It's cheaply made.
Very disappointed. This is the first time I've ever been unhappy with something I ordered from Amazon. Bummer.
