Our take on the Genius Square XL Puzzle Game

Genius Square XL is a two-player puzzle race from SmartGames: each player gets a grid and nine colorful plastic pieces, dice rolls place blockers, and the first to fit every piece wins. The XL edition uses a larger board and pieces than the original, which suits younger players and shared tables. It plays solo or head-to-head and is marketed for ages 6 and up. The best new price is $44.95 at Coolest Toys On Earth as of November 7, 2026, with three stores listing it new.
