Got this for my grandson who's very hard to buy for. He was so excited about this set and works with it all the time. He's asked his parents to buy him the additional pieces so he can construct bigger things. Great item!

I've always been fascinated by geometric shapes and
symmetry, so the Zome System was right up my alley.
I bought it for a big kid--me!
I also recommend getting the book "Zome Geometry",
which provides exercises, directions, and "challenges"
to really get you experimenting and thinking
analytically. Apparently Amazon only offers the
Pioneer Kit, and I noticed many reviewers suggesting
the purchase of multiple kits. Hopefully, Amazon (Toys
R Us) will start offering some of the larger kits;
beyond the Pioneer kit (121 pieces), you can also find
the 242-piece Adventurer kit, all the way up to the
1308-piece Advanced Math Kit (which also includes
advanced "green" struts for constructing truly fantastic
shapes).

Zome allows you to build an endless variety of figures:
pyramids, cubes, prisms, dodecahedrons (12-sided ball),
and far beyond--whatever your imagination comes up with,
while giving you the chance to learn geometry in a
"hands-on" way.

I highly recommend this "toy" for kids, teachers, or
anyone fascinated with geometric figures.

I have a Zome set myself and have enjoyed it very much. It isn't a "one-design" kit like some I've seen. It's much more fun when you aren't restricted to only one object to make. Some advice: a larger set can make something so large that kids can fit inside...

We got this kit for our son, the Lego freak! He's HOOKED ON ZOME!!! We can't wait to get additional kits and build even bigger and cooler things. I highly recommend this for anyone and everyone -- solo or family fun. ALL THUMBS UP!

This is the kind of toy you steal from your kids. It's incredibly absorbing. I've seen chemists make fantastically elaborate models with this stuff. More interesting than Lego. You'll want to get more than one set to make bigger models.
