Ask HN: are there (addicting, video) games which improve mathematical thinking?
There are a lot of really addicting video games on the market today and so I wonder: are there video games which encourage, or provide feedback for, a deductive style of thinking (or the same sort of thought patterns a mathematician uses)?
If you were to expose this game to kids, I think it would be of tremendous value (assuming it was just as entertaining as other modern games).

See, for example, this Wired article: http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/06/dragonbox/all/ http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/06/dragonbox/all/ Here's an earlier HN discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4105397 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4105397
