Penguin Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If you know of any educational games that would be good for 8th grade and up, I would love to know about them. Pretend that cost is not an issue. It is, but I am pretending and I just want to make a wish list right now :) I am not looking for games to play on the computer. Think board games, dice games, card games. I am not asking about strategy games right now, although we like those as well. Instead, I want games that will teach or reinforce content. Within those two parameters, I am interested in any subject: math, chemisty, logic, art history... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy the Valiant Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 May be younger than what you have in mind, but we've enjoyed Linkology. We have the Solar System one (I learned a lot, even as an adult), and we're getting the other 2 for next year. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pen Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 How do you separate logic from strategy? Mastermind and Chess seem to me to fit in with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 How do you separate logic from strategy? Mastermind and Chess seem to me to fit in with both. Hmm, I was being a bit muddled with the logic vs. strategy request. For logic, I meant something like WFF n Proof that teaches symbolic logic - rather than a strategy game that uses logical thinking skills. ETA: WFF n Proof is sold by Games for Thinkers. I am also considering On-Sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
