I recevied a copy of the new ThinkFun game, Back Spin, to play with and review. Opinions are 100% my own.

I’m a big fan of the ThinkFun library of games. We have quite a few of their brain teasing puzzles. Back Spin is a simple concept. It is a disc that rotates and it is covered with 35 balls of 9 colors. There is one empty space. First you mess up the balls so that the colors are mixed. You then rotate the discs and pass one ball from back to front until all the balls are back with their original colors. The concept is simple but trying to get the right colors back in their place can be a real challenge. Luckily ThinkFun games are about challenge and not impossibility. The game can be solved and is for ages 8 and up. It is also nice and flat and self contained so it is great for car trips. Here is my complete video review of the game.
