When I go to Michigan to visit my family and friends there, I always stop by Mackinaw Kites and Toys in Grand Haven. They have the best game selection I've ever seen, and always have lots of interesting games and puzzles out, with salespeople ready and eager to demonstrate.
This time I got another set of Katamino for our friends up north (whose daughter loved it), a 3D puzzle for the boy I tutor (it reminds me of Rubik's cubes, which he loves), a magnetic monkey jumping toy which my son is enjoying, and Perplexus, which my son and I are both puzzling over. Perplexus is a clear plastic ball with an amazing 3D pathway inside that you try to keep the ball traveling along on. Because it involved eye-hand coordination, my son is better at it than I am. He likes that.
My brother got my son a game called Trango. My son hasn't played it yet, but I played it with our friends up north, and enjoyed it. Each turn you play either 2 or 3 pieces, according to the roll of the die, by connecting them to the other pieces already played. You get points every time you make one of the 4 shapes shown on the box (triangle, hexagon, chevron, and spade). You can add one piece to a patch already on the board and get points for the new shape you made. Playing this really got us looking for shapes.
