Mindtrap

As a child I loved playing games, whether they were made up ones or board games it didn’t matter I just loved to play them. In an age of digital television, the Internet and computer games, I think it’s all too easy to flop down in front of a screen and become glued to it (says me here taking an age to type this out) and disregard them. Regrettably since my childhood the only game I had until recently was Scrabble, a game I never tire of playing, as I enjoy doing things that tax my brain without it becoming boring.

I have had this game for a few years and it is certainly the most frustrating game that I own. If you are the sort of person that enjoys working out answers from clues in the questions and making wild leaps of logic at times, you will love this game.
