Take it EasyIt's a puzzle, it's a maze, it's a game! It's all three and much more! Place your pieces one at a time on the board. Try to form continuous rows of color from edge to edge. But one wrong tile and the whole row is worthless. It gets harder and harder as the number of empty spaces on your board and your possible choices diminish, since once a tile is placed it cant be moved! Everyone has the same chance as everyone else because everyone plays the same tiles in the same order. But all the boards will be different at the end and only one player will have used the tiles the best way, scored the most points, and won the game. Works well with ages 9+.

Bingo + A jigsaw puzzle
Kathleen Judd
March 19, 2009

Recently bought this game for our library. It was bought as a math game and has turned out to be a great game. Take the fun of bingo and add the skill of doing a jigsaw puzzle and you have Take it Easy.

One other note if you have to make a mistake and an order a game twice this is one to do it with. Accidentally ordered two copies for the libraries but, now we have the ability to have a giant Take it Easy game. Another plus was that my coworker and I both got to test out the game at home. My nephew is getting one for his birthday. Gee, one game sold to the same person three times. That is a great game.

Fun and easy to learn

I bought this game in France 4 years ago and have enjoyed it with family, friends and students ever since. It is fun, easy to learn and can be used in a variety of ways as a teaching tool. I have used it with children as young as 6 years old. This is our family's most favorite game to play together.

Simple, addictive, frustrating ... Perfect

Rules that can be explained in under a minute, and a game that can be played in less than 10. Ideal for teaching probabilities, and how even the best planning in the world can go horribly horribly wrong.

I've never played this game with someone who didn't like it, and rarely with anyone who thought it was less than genius.

To be fair, it's not backgammon, but then hey, neither's yahtzee... that doesn't mean it's not a fun little diversion every now and then.

An ideal Christmas afternoon kinda game, and not a bad prezzie either.
