Convert
A seemingly simple puzzle game, Convert pushes spacial awareness to the next level. By manipulating pieces to fit with each other, players attempt to score rows, while claiming spaces on the board by converting them to their color.
Unlike many other abstract games that leave all of the scoring to the end, Convert creates a dimension of play that challenges players to battle for points throughout the entire game. First, players collect points as they create each row of four squares, and finally, this score is added to the amount of squares they occupy as seen from above.
This isn't as easy at it looks though, as each piece you place causes the board to climb taller, making pieces more difficult to play! We have yet to see a game of Convert be played where the players haven't literally become "vertical" themselves and stand up to get a better look!

A little chess, a little Mensa mind test, all around fun. It seems simple enough place your blocks in such a manner to get four across, but as you try to fit your blocks onto the board your opponent is also trying to stack their blocks. Some blocks are easy to fit on others take a little more brain power and luck to place them. This is small enough to be portable and easy enough to explain to make an easy to play while waiting for dinner to be done. Concept is easy enough to get that small children can play as well, but challenging enough to keep adults engaged.
