There is currently considerable interest in developing logical/mathematical games, which is wonderful!
Stores
- Best games : an annotated list of some of the best hands-on games that I’ve found. Some games are just better in physical form than on-line. The list is updated periodically as I find new games and try them out on people.
- Stores : an annotated list of some stores in British Columbia which carry logical/mathematical games. If you know of a good store, please let me know so I can pass it on.
- Quick start : a list of some accessible on-line or downloadable puzzles. I’ve indicated the approximate appropriate age level.
