EYECATCHER Game Review
At first glance EYECATCHER looks straightforward. Match the 16 multi-colored tiles to the corresponding squares on the symmetrical game board in less than one minute. Okay, no problem. But get started and you'll soon see the catch. Each tile is made up of four triangles and each triangle is one of five different colors. Getting that exact match is not so easy. Twist and turn the tiles only to discover one color is wrongly matched or that the purple and yellow are on the wrong sides. The more tiles placed correctly, the more points gathered in each round. How well will you score on the rating scale? It's frantic fun as players race against time playing alone or with a group. Includes game tiles, game board, sand timer, pyramid die, score pad, pencil and instruction sheet with rating scale. Read more...
EYECATCHER Game Specifications
Oh, it's an "eye catcher" all right. And before you're finished with this maddeningly, frustratingly addictive pursuit, you'll be calling it "Cross- eye catcher." It's the kind of panic-inducing, color-coded race against time that plays as if Rubik himself went out drinking with a gang of Mensa members, then decided to design a new eye chart. Alone or in teams, players attempt to match the 16 colored tiles to their corresponding squares on the board in under a minute. Ah, but there's a catch: each tile is composed of four triangles, each of those sporting one of five colors; and while one tile may contain the same four colors as another, the colors will be positioned differently. You'll spend a lot of time twisting them around to find the perfect board match--only to discover that yellow and purple are transposed. Perfect for solitaire or party play (especially the hilarious Team Challenge, where two players match and grab simultaneously on the not-so-big board), Eyecatcher will make cockeyed optimists out of many a gathering. --Tony Mason
