PERC Volunteer Spotlight: Heidi

Perplexus

"I like this one because it's easy, it's only one piece, and you can't loose it. It's fun, kids can sit and think. Perplexus captures their minds and it's almost like a video game; but it's not, they're figuring out a maze. I like the thought process and seeing my kids figure out how it works." -Heidi Bird

Highlight: STARWORDS

Starwords is a co-operative word game. Cooperative board games are awesome because players have to change their thinking from being the winner to helping the other players do good, so that everyone wins. It takes a smart mind to master cooperative board game strategy.You can't win unless you work together.

In this particular game, everyone makes words by looking at the pictures, then they must cover as many star spaces as can be covered.  This game is fun and entertaining for families, students, friends, and anyone who enjoys word games.
