I can't believe I spent my whole sunday playing this game/book with some friends. It became mind absorbingly addictive. I recommend it at as a party game. Some of the riddles we worked out and some we didn't, but it did become riotous fun for most of the day. It comes either as a book or as a series of cards, we happened to have both, no preference between the two, although the book does have a forward by Edward De Bono.

Good luck solving them, but you'll have fun trying.

A stimulating collection of challenging riddles, many of which are nearly impossible to solve. But that, in fact, is where so much of the fun is derived. As the failed attempts of ourlateral thinking friends proved to be just as entertaining as the real answers offered in the back. And the author/illustrator's accompanying pictures are as intriguing as the riddles. In his own words, they're there 'to entertain your eyeballs when your mind goes blank.' Yes, your mind may go blank, but you'll be smiling at the time.
