Amazon.com Review: If you've played with Games magazine at all, you know what to expect here. It's page after page of the best word, logic, number and observation games and countless unclassifiable brain teasers from the magazine's first few years. Some are simple, many are diabolical, and most are witty as well as challenging. Even if you've subscribed from the beginning, odds are there's plenty you've forgotten and will enjoy playing again. Here's a perfect book to accompany you on a long trip--or to give a bedridden friend.

Rating: - A Book to Pass the Time
This is an excellent compilation of puzzles that you would normally find in the magazine. They range from easy to very challenging. Great for travellers, commuters, or just sitting around with nothing to do. The hours fly by as you get sucked into some of the puzzles.
Rating: - Great fun!
If you loved the old Games magazine, this will bring it all back. I bought it as a gift for my Dad, but had to force myself not to write in it myself! From wacky crossword-type puzzles to visual games and more, this has everything the old magazine had. Fun for individuals, groups, pairs.
