Logic RootsLogicRoots Ocean Raiders Math Addition Board Game

got it for rs149/. though it is a modern version of snake and ladders, it has been made very interstingly with a very innovative dice.even my 5 yr daughter enjoyed the game and she started doing addition!! for the first time. the quality of the product is goodd and well packed, the company also gave an update on latest in the game after the product was delivered

The concept is good, but it has limited playability. I think it can be a good tool to get a 1st grader or 2nd grader to learn addition. For older kids who are quite comfortable with addition it can be quite boring.The instructions were also a little incomplete. For e.g. There is no mention of what to do with the logic slates although. The slates themselves were also difficult to use for my 6 year old. After a couple of turns, the pens would no longer write on the slate clearly despite being wiped throughly - perhaps due to the chemicals from the ink itself.

Different take on snake and ladders..Like it..Little bit expensive..

This game is just like snakes and ladders, except that it has a component of addition incorporated into it. The kids end up doing sum after sum at the same time, having fun. The game components are all of good quality. Suitable for kids from grade 1, who have started learning addition

Yet another game that I had ordered long back, extremely happy! Posting review now as I am deeply satisfied with the game, works like snakes and ladders so its easy to learn but teaches the kids how to add, just amazing!

Not good as publicised

it's okay , only suitable for kids above 6 years. it's more like a ludo but with number on it so if your kid does not know already the addition , he can't play this game or an adult has to give company to help him find out the correct number. bought it in rs 299 but still a bit expensive i would say

It is just a glorified snakes and ladders game that is being marketed as some 'IIT' brainchild. Putting 2 sketchpens, 3 laminated cards, and a fancy instruction manual doesn't make it worth Rs 549/-. It should be priced 200/- at best because of the fancy packaging (you get a snakes and ladders set in less than 100/- at your local shop).The idea is that your child would be able to calculate which square to move to by adding the number that the dice shows on rolling. That's it.Add lots of meaningless gimmick and then try to portray it as some genius innovation - you have a grossly overpriced product.Buy a normal snakes and ladders game and spend the extra money to buy your child some good books.

Ocean Raiders is a maths game for 2-4 children in Grade 1 +, which I believe is the UK equivalent of Year 2 and above. It arrived in a beautifully presented box, with a play board, whiteboard pens, counters, dice, poster, wipe-clean cloth, logic 'slates' and instructions. The instructions came with a QR code which is really useful for those who don't like flicking through instruction manuals, and also contains additional information. The board itself was reminiscent of the traditional snakes and ladders setup, but with notable differences; an oceanic theme/storyline; gameplay moves from top to bottom; numbers are roughly in rows of tens increasing as you move downwards, but each row is not sequential; there are 'typhoons' instead of snakes/ladders which can move you forward or backwards (the colour indicates the difference here). The magical number to attain is 49.The basic gameplay is this; each player takes turns to roll a dice. On the next go, you add your new dice roll to the position you are on. For example, if you are on 5 and roll a 3, you would move to 8. As the places are not sequential, you have to actively look for the next place you need to move to. A wrong move places you back at your original position and you miss a turn. Logic slates are available to help 'count on' and attain the correct number. This is effectively a counting on game, and players can choose to use logic slates and are also encouraged to use the 'fingers down' method of counting on from a number to minimise any mistakes in calculations. Imagination is key here - the game encourages a narrative of underwater explorers seeking treasure (in sector 49), so children can create their own story arcs to match their progress in the game. The game itself supports number recognition, sequencing and addition with or without carrying. There are 'extension' games that can be played, and variations are encouraged to develop more advanced numeracy skills (and an email address is supplied to request further ideas from the manufacturer). One variation that I liked was the subtraction back from sector 49, to return the players to their ship. As a UK user, it is clear the terminology is American English but this is a very minor issue. I would say children in Reception and Year 1 would be able to play this game with the support of an adult - my daughter is in Year 1 and enjoyed counting on with her fingers independently and the challenge of trying to find the non-sequential next step. The logic slates are a really nice touch to offer differentiated support systems to counting and reinforcing counting in sequence. Lovely game, highly recommended.

I bought Ocean Raiders since it claimed that it provides 11 times more math practice than normal school homework. The two kids at home, one a 9-year-old and another a 7-year-old, these days are glued to the game so much that at times they use it as an excuse to avoid their actual homework.Initially when I sat to explain the game to kids I was stuck at many places as the game is not as it appears. At first I thought it would be like a snakes and ladder game involving math but although the game resembles the famous game it is quite different.The numbers are arranged randomly on the board and the last box is not necessarily the end point. The how to play video on youtube helped us to understand the game clearly and then it was hours of fun. It is a good game and the kids are certainly practicing more math.A good effort from Logic Roots. I will definitely look for their other products too as they claim that they can help children improve their math.

I bought this game for my 5 year old twins, since they love board games. This has turned into one of my favorite games to play with them. They have so much fun with this game. I love it because they are practicing their math and don't even realize it. I will say the company that came up with this game put a lot of thought in it. One of the things I love is that the numbers on the game board are not in order, so they cannot just count on the board. They actually have to add the numbers together and then find the number on the board. For anyone thinking about purchasing this product, do it. I am ready to purchase other games from this company.

I got this board game to help my dyslexic 7 year get some additional confidence with maths.This is a really easy game to set up, it is a simple adding game with a hint of snakes and ladders.Although quite a simple game there are additional options to change the game to slightly change things up and keep things interesting,The quality of the game is good, the branding is interesting to kids and catches the eye. Everything you need to play each variation of the game is included.This is quite simple a game for my 7 year old and very easy for him to understand. I would recommend for a 5/6 year old.I am very happy with this board game and will be buying other games .

A board game themed around oceans, treasures, and typhoons. The game has some very simple rules for kids to follow with ease. But it stays interesting and competitive.The game is designed to help kids practice Addition, which it does beautifully. When we played, we did a lot of addition problems without realizing as they were beautifully integrated in the game. So game achieves its stated purpose i.e. addition practice but it achieves something more. My kids are fine with going down the typhoons, changing the path, losing a turn too. They are more sportive now. And that is the real power of a game.The box is pretty big as compared to the contents inside. But the board is beautiful and all the pictures on it very eye-catching and interesting. I am happy that I bought this game for my kids. I would love to know if the company has any game which help kids practice subtraction or is there any way or modified gameplay where with ocean raiders itself we can play a game involving subtraction
