Slam Ball
Slam the ball into the sides of the game board, and use your knowledge of angles, symmetry, and reflections to choose the best path
Ker-Splash
A ball goes down a series of ramps and grabs either x, y, or plain number tokens. You need to figure out the best route for the ball, and combine terms. My kids really liked this one. I liked it alright as well. It's not very difficult - more for prealgebra level than algebra 1.
