I did a quick search looking for something like this because I have an autistic
nephew that loves to play with stacking block-type games. I was going to reply only
to Mary but it occurred to me that with all of our special needs students something
like this might be of interest to educators. So, does anyone out there know of
educational yet fun games that could be used at school or for personal use? I am
interested in unusual games that you don't see in every Toys R Us. I hope I'm not
too off topic with this request.

Subject: Trying to remember Game Name
OK this is driving me crazy. Back in October I was in Monterey CA for the
Internet Libnrarian Conference. At their game night they had some
non-electronic games as well as electronic. One was a big wooden circle with
dividers inside. You stacked wooden shapes up against the dividers, trying
to keep adding without making everything cause the wheel to roll too far and
thus cause the blocks to fall. Kind of like Jenga in a circular shape. I
found it online right after that night but now canno remember the name of
the game. It was kind of expensive but soooo much fun and now I want to
order it for Christmas.I remember it was made in Europe. Can anybody help me
out with the name? Oh and I consider this only slightly off topic because
everyone playing with me agreed it would make a great game to have in a
library.TIA mabell
