Genius Star is a strategic puzzle game by SmartGames that can be played solo or with two players. The objective is to fill the star-shaped game board with eleven colorful puzzle pieces after placing seven blockers, determined by rolling seven dice. With over 160,000 possible puzzles across five difficulty levels, Genius Star offers a challenging and replayable experience for players aged 8 and up.
The game begins with rolling the seven dice, which dictate where the blockers are placed on the game board. Players then race against each other to fill the remaining spaces with their puzzle pieces. The first player to complete their board wins the round and advances to a higher level. As levels progress, additional constraints are introduced, such as prohibiting certain pieces from being placed adjacent to each other, increasing the challenge.
Genius Star stimulates cognitive skills including concentration, flexible thinking, problem-solving, spatial insight, and speed. The high-quality components, including two game boards, two sets of eleven colorful puzzle pieces, two sets of seven blockers, and seven dice, ensure a durable and enjoyable gaming experience.
Whether playing alone or competing with a friend, Genius Star provides hours of puzzle fun and is a valuable addition to any game collection.
