Many of our games and puzzles are suitable as gifts to people who are spending some time in hospital, but they are also used as part of therapy and learning and by different health professionals.

Games and puzzles can be used to stretch the mind and introduce different ideas, but very importantly they can also be used to entertain people. We think that relaxation and diversion should not be underestimated.

Last year we sent copies of the game tri-ominos to a hospice for terminally ill patients. We have sold copies of Brain Strain for use in Prisons to help prisoners with decision making and thinking skills. We sell large index playing cards for the visually impaired, please call the shop on 020 8293 6616 to order..

We often sell logical thinking puzzles such as Rush Hour as presents for people who are going to spend a long time in hospital. These puzzles are also good to have in waiting rooms, especially to entertain children if they are with a parent who is being seen.

Card games, because they are small and immediate and easy to learn, also make great presents for people in recovery.

In all these situations the world of the game can provide a diversion and create a space that people in difficult situations can use to communicate with one another.
