Sudoku, a worldwide craze, has a worthy addition in Picdoku, which features 60 reusable Sudoku puzzles with a twist — there’s not a number in sight. On one side of each puzzle are animal images, and on the other are geometric shapes. Each game of logic includes 30 double-sided boards, two complete sets of reusable tokens and a solutions book. They range in difficulty level from 1 to 5. Launch date: July 2006.

This 13-country game tests players´ ability to identify a country name with its flag and capital. On one card is the name of a country capital and on another is the image of a country flag. Each player takes turns flipping over a card until a capital matches a flag (or a name matches a capital, and so on). Whoever yells "snap" first takes the pile of cards. There is also a matching of the country name to capital and an outline of the country shape in its geographical region.  Teachers use these games to play pairs, where all 52 cards are placed on a table and students take it in turns to turn two cards over that are from the same set. There is also a second pack (Around the World 2) and Around Europe.
