I was really excited to try this building set, because I'd never seen anything like it before. Each piece has a central ball from which six short arms protrude (all in a flat plane), each tipped with a ball slightly smaller than the center ball. The pieces are joined by pushing perpendicular pieces together so that the arm balls sort of snap into the space between the other piece's arm balls.
Because each piece has six arms, if you try to joint them into a circle, what you really have is a hexagon. You can't create right angles. It's actually a little bit challenging to create a shape you might have in mind, but that adds to the value of the set. A young child (these could pose a choking hazard, so no mouthers or children under 3) could put together some random design he/she enjoys (with the snapping bit probably requiring a little practice, effort and challenge), but older kids will have fun figuring out how to create something recognizable or even just symmetrical. I'm middle aged, and I've been having a blast playing with these pieces. They're great for stress relief.
