A harder sequel to the Genius Square with new puzzles! The premise is the same as before, with the goal being to place all of the colored pieces on the board after the blockers have been arranged. Each set of colored pieces must be touching – for instance, all of the greens must be connected to each other and form a single shape. Each time, the blockers are placed in different positions, making for a plethora of new puzzles! A new twist is the special “golden star" pieces. If you connect a whole golden star, you'll score double – but only some of the puzzles allow for a complete star. Play by yourself or compete with an opponent! Includes 2 puzzle grids, 7 dice, 14 triangular blockers, and 82 colored triangle pieces. ~ Janine
