Mirror Mansion Mania!

The newest game in our collection is Mirror Mansion! It is one of the games that I noticed before I became a consultant and just knew that we had to have it. Well, today it came in the mail and S and I finally got to play! It is exactly what I hoped it would be and S couldn't get enough of it. There were actually tears when it was time to stop playing!

The basic idea is that you have to find different treasures located around the mansion by strategically placing the mirrors so that you can see the one you're looking for through the viewing window, and your mirror movements are limited. The person who has the most jewels at the end wins. The board is double sided with one side showing reflection lines while the other does not. You have the option for basic play or advanced with the option to rotate the board to make remembering treasure locations a bit more challenging. This game is great for learning about reflection, angles, basic strategy, and memorization.

We played using the side of the board with reflection lines, which helped S get a feel for how everything worked. We also did not rotate the board because S is not quite there yet, but it'll be fun when he is! It did not take him very long at all to figure out how to place the mirrors to get the reflections working in his favor. I was impressed! Now, while several of his guesses on the locations of certain treasures were not correct his mirror placements to get to those locations were perfect. He was beyond excited when he did guess correctly though.  It was great to see him working out what angles he needed to use to get to where the treasures were, and of course his face lighting up when he found one was priceless!

This game has probably topped his favorite list for now, and just in case you were wondering what that list includes... His other preferred games are Pickles' Pig Tales, Clover Leap, and Digger's Garden Match. I reviewed those games previously here and here.
