Eager to play a mind-challenging game? Then, ThinkFun, Alexandria, Va., has just the game for you: River Crossing--The Perilous Plank Puzzle ($14.99). The object of this innovative brainteaser is to help a hiker cross the river by strategically moving planks between tree stumps. Forty gameboard cards alter the starting location of the stumps and planks, therefore varying the levels of difficulty of this one-player game.
