Knot So Fast is a game for the individual to figure out and practice different knots. In the box, you are given a rope, a ring and booklet of 40 different knot challenges ranging in difficulty. Since there are no step-by-step instructions on how to make the knot, that is most of the challenge... to figure out how the knot is made. Some of the knots really need a lot of concentration to figure out how to maneuver the rope to make the actual knot.
I wish there was more information about how each knot is used in real life though. However, there are interesting facts or tips about the knot on the cards.
Knot So Fast is included in the
10th Grade Curriculum Kit from Timberdoodle but it is nice for almost any age. I love to practice the knots to see how quickly I can get them completed and my 8-year-old likes to take Knot So Fast in the car. It is a great game for the individual that is on-the-go or as a quiet time activity.
This knot below took a little bit of thinking and laying out of the rope to figure out. Note: the rope has a foam core and sometimes twists up or gets tangled on itself making maneuvering the rope a little difficult.
Mr A says that this is his favorite knot: Bowline on a Bight.
We love this individual game and you never know when you'll need to use a knot for something.
