Cheatwell Games Baffled Board Game

Product Information

The players begin by placing their markers on the board and then proceed to roll the six-sided dice and move accordingly, a-la Monopoly, the corresponding number of places on the track. It can be difficult to try to figure out if you are actually remembering where symbols are located in that game, or in an earlier one! Of course, Colt Express is also famous for cardboard 3D cacti that have absolutely no game purpose and act simply as a piece of scenery. Suitable for Wide Range of Ages- Cheatwell Games recommend this game for ages 8 years and over but (with support) we experienced children as young as 4 enjoying this game. It also helps reinforce many other skills alongside memory skills, such as numeracy (counting the number on the dice and moving the counters) and literacy (the tiles are placed on letters of the alphabet).

Winner of 2 x GOLD awards: for 'Best Family Game' and 'Best Problem Solving Game' in the Imagination Gaming Awards 2018! That includes having bigger boxes to have a more visible place on the board game shelf, and, of course, having appealing components, which one could argue, Baffled has. Having celebrated my fourth anniversary of unwrapping Baffled last Christmas, the past years have taught me a lot.

We’ve been playing Baffled by Cheatwell Games- a fun, memory based board game, which is absolutely brilliant. Game play time can range between 15 and 40 minutes, plus Baffled is cleverly designed so that every player has an equal chance of winning, as its not about your wisdom and smarts, it's about remembering where you last saw the symbols. Baffled is a special case, because some of the things that give the game its novelty also work to its detriment.Cheatwell GamesCheatwell Games was founded back in 1986 and started out producing board games but now has a reputation for the design and development of innovative toys, puzzles and gifts, and understanding what it takes to have a fun time and goes out of its way to create it. the makers claim the game is ‘cleverly designed so that children and adults have an equal chance of winning’. Yet since the actions are mainly ‘guess the fruit, or the number, or the animal, or ask another player to guess the same’, simplifying it would not impact the game in any major way.

But it’s great to have the option to adjust the number of lives according to age and ability, as necessary. If you land on a “find three…” squares then you must find three of the four pieces matching the description.

The aim of the game is to stay in the game longer than any other player by correctly memorising the positions of the twelve hidden symbols.
