Checkers?  Okay, but the skill building is greater in Chess.

Sudoku?  Videogames? Okay, but the repetitive nature of hunting for a number will eventually turn into a routine.   Dr. Daniel Amen makes it clear:  blood flows to the brain when we are learning new rules and using new information.   IF we call on old "routines" to solve a problem, then it's no longer a challenge and there is less flow of blood to the brain.

Video Simulations?  Yes.  See the COURSE on Brain Building with Video Simulations  >> Click Here <<
