Description
Strateshape is probably the most challenging of all the “shape games” we’ve made. Not because the rules are complicated, but because it requires a bit of counting skill (though a Guardian can help here) and because finding the best move requires a lot of strategy and spatial awareness.
Cards show random shapes, with colored stars inside. On your turn, you have to overlap an existing card with yours, and make sure one of your shapes lines up with the card below. This allows many creative ways to overlap other cards, without being so easy that you don’t have to think about it.
Your goal? Make sure your colored stars appear the most, and you cover up other player’s colored stars!
A simple shape game with a lot of … tactics and strateshape.

Subject: Mathematics
The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.
This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:
This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.
Faction: Gamiverses
This resource is part of the Gamiverses Faction.
But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!
You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.
Played a quiz? Try a game! Played a game? Try an escape room! And so on.
For example,
Charm: Board Game
This product is part of the Board Game charm.
Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:
Board Games are simply physical games (as opposed to video games). They could be played using cards, without a board, with players physically moving around, anything.
Our board games follow the rule that your first game should only require a single page of setup + rules. Most of them are cooperative multiplayer experiences.
Spell: My First Shapes
This resource is part of the My First Shapes topic (or "spell").
Just like colors, shapes provide an easy way to categorize the world around us and break it into smaller parts. This helps understand the world better: now you can explicitly ask your parents for the square thing, for example. It also enables teaching crucial skills such as grouping and combining later.

| Tacta | This is the game that directly inspired our own product. We simplified it, made it printable, and made it more educational (for our purposes). But if you liked this game, then Tacta gives you a proper box and set of cards to play something similar! |
