Smart, addictive, challenging, fun, and good for the brain-here, in an irresistible card deck, are more than 150 truly satisfying, mind-expanding, full-colour puzzles.

It's like salted peanuts for the puzzle aficionado and boot camp for the neophyte who wants to give his or her mind a workout.

Created by puzzle master Scott Kim - a contributor to Games and Discover magazines - The Mind Benders Card Deck is a cornucopia of spatial puzzles, number challenges, wordplay, visual conundrums, and more. The puzzles are categorized by type but distributed in a mixed fashion (i.e., a word puzzle next to a number puzzle next to a visual stumper). Readers can move card by card, working different parts of the brain-or easily find their favourite type of puzzle, going from easy to challenging.
