I originally backed this book on Kickstarter and was pleasantly surprised when I received this hefty tome of games. The games are so much fun and remind me all the old paper games I used to play as a kid. My daughter loves playing them with me and doesn't believe that any of them are actually math games. I have since bought 3 more copies to give as gifts.
