ThinkFun Stratos Spheres

This game comes with blue and yellow spheres with pegs on half the sides and holes on the the other half. There is one white piece that is the starting point. The object is to get 4 of your colored spheres in a row, either straight or diagonally. It’s like Connect 4 but in 3D.

I played this game with my 4 year old daughter, and while she is a little young for it (doesn’t quite get the strategy of blocking you) she did like playing it with me. I think it’s a cool innovation on connect 4 and planning ahead in 3d can be tricky. I can see how this game would help with spacial reasoning as well as strategy in general. The pieces themselves seem well made and come with a nice carrying pouch to keep them in.

It’s currently available for $9.99 on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1ThMXpq
