The Genius Star
Wake up your brains with The Genius Star! The Genius Star can be played as a single-player solitaire challenge or increase the excitement by challenging family and friends to a race.
To begin, roll the dice, add the blockers, then race to place your shapes. To win, be the first to place your 11 colored shapes around the seven blockers. All of The Genius Star’s 165,888 possible puzzle combinations are solvable. So, no matter where the blockers land on the grid, there will always be a solution.
The Genius Star is a STEM board game that promotes problem-solving, spatial awareness, logic, strategic planning, visual discrimination, motor manipulation skills, and concentration. ASTRA’s Game of the Year Winner, The Genuis Star, includes two grids, seven dice, two sets of 7 blockers, and two sets of 11 colored shapes.
Roll all seven dice together.
Each player places the 7 blockers into the triangle spots of each grid to match the seven numbers that appear on the dice.
Each player will race their opponent to fill in the 11 colored shapes into every other space on the grid. Whoever finishes first is the winner!
Genius Star can also be played alone by challenging yourself against the clock.

”This critical thinking game is simple enough that younger kids can play, but is simultaneously challenging enough for adults to enjoy playing, as well.”

"It's like a game on Survivor"
Jill W.
With an only child, we love games that are 1-player, but can also have more. This was really fun and interesting. And our daughter, a big Survivor fan, said it seemed like a puzzle they would have on the show!

Fantastic Game-School Game!
Jennifer H.
I got this for my 8 and 12 year olds to try during the times when I'm working with another kid and they're waiting on me. They love this thing. I was not sure they would, since they have never been into non-electric games. But they're both absolutely loving it. This game is an investment I'd make again, no question.

A kid fav
Elizabeth L.
My kids absolutely love this game. They complete their star almost every time. On the other hand, I’ve only been able to complete a star once. This is their fav game to get out when I tell them to work on thinking skills.

Unique and fun!
Kimberly S.
We own a lot of logic puzzles and this one is unique in that it can be played with 1 or 2 people! The mechanics if the game plays are fun and every round is different, so we won't get bored quickly. My son was really excited about this component of his curriculum and it has not disappointed. Super fun way to build spacial skills and take a break from book work!
