A simple and safe gift is a gift card . It gives the recipient the freedom to choose what interests them at the moment and buy something that is at the top of their wish list. But why choose a Brain Games gift card? Gift cards purchased in the Brain Games store do not expire and you can choose their value yourself!

A delicious gift will be the game "Sushi Go!" ! It's a simple card drafting game that's easy to learn, quick to play, and fun for all ages. Like a great meal at a sushi bar, this game will keep you coming back again and again!

If the recipient of the gift is a fan of breakout rooms or likes to solve puzzles, there is an option to purchase one of the games from the “EXIT” series. The idea of ​​the game is simple - a breakout room in a box! In the game, you have to solve various puzzles to escape, for example, from an abandoned hut, a secret laboratory or a pharaoh's tomb. There is also an option to choose "Dead on the Orient Express", in which the player will assume the role of a detective to find the killer. Solving each puzzle will lead to other puzzles until the crime is solved.

Four versions of the game are currently available in Latvian, but if English is not an obstacle for the person looking for a gift, then the choice becomes even wider.

But if you want to be like Professor X for Christmas or try out the role of a mentalist, we recommend you try "The Mind" and "The Mind Extreme" . For those new to the series, we recommend starting with the original, The Mind. The object of the game is to capture your teammates and play the numbers on the board in ascending order. With each level you get more cards and it becomes more and more difficult to read each other's minds. However, if you are already familiar with The Mind, we suggest you try The Mind Extreme. This game is even more challenging because instead of one pile you have to make two, one in ascending order and one in descending order.

"MicroMacro: City of Crime" won the "Spiel des Jahres" award for the best board game of the year last year . The game is completely unique and will not leave anyone indifferent!

It's designed for 1-4 players and offers both fun socializing and crime-solving at home alone. The game features a huge black and white map of the city where 16 crimes are hidden. By searching for clues together, players try to uncover all the crime cities

If you are not interested in watching each other and reading each other's thoughts, then the magnets of the game "Kluster" can bring you joy . The object of the game is to get rid of the magnets in the hand by placing them in a confined space inside the loop of the rope so that they do not come into contact with other magnets. Even grown-ups will shriek when the magnets collide, and getting the magnets right will cause everyone a stir.

It often happens that in the daily rush there is not much time for board games or opportunities to meet. Then you can do it alone! You can always train your mind alone. For this purpose, we recommend the IQ series of Smart Games . It has countless games of different challenges. This will make a great gift for kids and adults alike.

If you are looking for some small trinkets for a small gift, or if you want to add something to a bigger surprise, we recommend various mind laces . Both wooden and metal brain teasers are available with varying degrees of difficulty.

"Logic Cards" will also be suitable as a small gift for lovers of logic puzzles . The game has several versions with 53 different logic puzzles that help keep the brain alive. The tasks are of different difficulty levels, so everyone will be able to find the most suitable ones. In addition, the game has a free application that will help you with solutions if you get stuck.
