My family loves to have family games nights and I have to say that I am always looking for ways to bring in an educational component too. This is a reason I love ThinkFun games. All of the ThinkFun Games I have tried and reviewed in the past including:

All of these games challenged our girls to not only have fun but to learn. The games were all well made to last for a long time to come. The two below games are the newest from ThinkFun and they continue the excellence that I have seen in the past!

Thinkfun – Stratos Spheres -2-Player Strategy Game

Take four-in-a-row to a whole new dimension with Stratos Spheres! Stratos Spheres loses the 2-D board and lets you build the game – and your logic skills – as you go. To start, add one of your colored spheres to the white neutral sphere and pass it to your opponent. Your opponent then adds a sphere of their color. This 2-player game goes back and forth until one player gets four of their spheres in a row – in any dimension. With its 3-D construction, Stratos Spheres takes a classic play pattern and adds a dynamic new level of strategy and fun!

Thinkfun – Math Dice Chase

Math Dice Chase is one part hot potato and one part math! Players begin by arranging themselves in a circle. You and the player directly across from you each roll a set of 12-sided dice and race to multiply your numbers together. Quickly shout out the answer and pass the dice as fast as you can. Think fast – this math game is a race and you don’t want to get caught with both sets of dice!
