Kids can match wits against the masters or play with a friend. Through experience and observation, they learn to recognize patterns and predict outcomes. As they improve their winning strategies, the games increase in difficulty and new challenges are presented. The ultimate goal is to build a reportoire of skills that can be used, not only to master the games,but also to solve problems in daily life. The program is packed with features.
Kids can learn more about the country and origin of the games by clicking on a global icon.
Onscreen tutorials are available and strategy coaches provide insightful tips at the click of a mouse. Real World Strategy Videos pop up intermittantly through-out the games and bring a sense of purpose to the skills children are trying to master. Kids hear from a doctor, professor, movie director, football coach, an astronaut and others about how they use problem strategy-solving in their work. The strategy videos are so interesting that I only wish there was a place where you could go to view them all. But players have to wait for them to pop up randomly.
