Part of the SoLogic series from Djeco, Logic Garden is a solitaire puzzle game where you are challenged to place out five of the seven wooden pentomino shapes on a 5 x 5 grid so that each pentomino contains five different fruit icons.
Tho' Logic Garden is part of the same series as Traffic Logic, the 40 challenges in this game offer a different sort of puzzle; in this case calling for spatial awareness. You're eased into the game with some puzzle cards that are super easy because they show the position of three of the pentominoes but the game ups the challenge with cards that offer first two and then just one starting position. There are even some challenge cards that just give you one square in the grid and the colour of the pentomino that covers it without telling you how or even which way round the pentomino should be placed... There's only one solution for each puzzle and you're not told for any of the puzzles which two pentominoes need to be set aside because they won't be used in that puzzle.
Logic Garden is designed by Joann Levet and Delphine Chedru, and tho' it's a small-box game the production is of the high standard we've come to expect from Djeco. The 6-99 age range on the box of many Djeco games sometimes sounds a bit silly but with this SoLogic game we think that age range sounds about right.
