TOYS AND KATAMINOGAMES POCKET

KATAMINO POCKET PROVIDES YOU WITH HOURS OF FUN COMPLETING PUZZLES IN THIS COMPACT AND PORTABLE VERSION OF THE KATAMINO GAME. IT MAKES A PERFECT ACCOMPANIMENT WHILE IN A CAR, ON THE TRAIN OR EVEN JUST FOR A FEW MINUTES ON YOUR COFFEE BREAK. IT INCLUDES OVER 500 PUZZLES TO BE COMPLETED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS, SO THE PUZZLING OPPORTUNITIES ARE ENDLESS!

Katamino Pocket contains 12 pentaminos which are made of lightweight colourful plastic, giving a retro feel to the puzzles. The puzzle options are set out in the included challenges book, which is kept in the helpful compartment below the playing board. The challenges book clearly shows which pentaminos are needed for each puzzle and where the divider should be placed to ensure that the playing board is the correct size. The variability of the puzzle is great, as you can decide on the difficulty you want depending on the amount of time you have spare to spend on the puzzles.

Due to the compact design, the Katamino Pocket all stays together in its own closable case, making it great for playing whilst on the move. I can imagine this would be great fun for long car rides to keep your brain focused on the puzzles and to pass the time. Although, the pieces can sometimes be a little fiddly to fit together, so it may be harder to play when you don’t have a completely flat surface. However, I tried out a few of the more challenging puzzles whilst I was sitting on the train to work one morning and found them fun, easy to use, and a satisfying way to wake my brain up.

Overall, Katamino Pocket makes a great choice for adults who want a little brain challenge or for children to help develop their problem-solving skills. Therefore, Katamino Pocket is perfect for a variety of ages with its portable design, colourful aesthetics, and vast puzzle options - making it a great option for puzzling on the go all summer!
