Let's face it, kids love when things POP! and make a little mess. This little slice of chaos is sure to get some giggles, as players hurry to place their shapes where they go before the timer goes off and--you guessed it--the pieces go flying off the board. Beat the timer and your opponent to win. The game promotes cognitive skills (memory, concentration and cause-and-effect), physical skills (dexterity and fine motor), and serves as a great prequel to geometry.
