Optical Illusions Game - a suave brain teaser!
If you?re a gaming enthusiast and simply thrive on a periodic rush of fresh adrenaline, the Optical Illusions Game is for you...
Modelled on the lines of the classic Memory game, generally played with a card pack of 52, that one comes with 80 cards, square, where 4 cards constitute a single optical illusion, when solved such as a miniature jigsaw puzzle. That makes 20 different scenarios, replete with illusory effects via geometric patterns, faces, 3D street art, and so on.

Whilst playing the game for the first time does bring on the excitement; not to mention the thrill of being able to solve one?s first correct pick of a couple of 4 cards to perform an individual illusion, the excitement tends to wane as the game seems never-ending. From trying to recall the keeping the card to the illusory effect it represented, the overall game challenges both ? one?s memory and visual acumen. It will drag on and on, until one succeeds in solving all of the 20 scenarios and declaring a winner.

However, different iterations, where the sets could be reduced to picking 2 of a sort and trading the half set for a full one from the other players; or to play with 4 open cards instead of 2, are usually the preferred options ? to 1?s patience and sanity. In the end how many times can the same illusory picture enthuse one??!

While the game could go well with the early teens, the concept doesn?t score as high with adults indulging in a lazy indoor gaming session. Moreover, it is a game for a large group ? feisty, haughty, and full of zest, who could play on challenges and thrive in it, over and over again!

Upside: Colour palettes are well chosen, aimed to confuse, but only just marginally. The accompanying brochure with pictorial representation of the scenarios, where these were originally photographed, name of the artist along with other details add to one? Cognite Unblocked .
