It's more than an electronic game. You also get six small balls, a slightly larger foam ball, bunch of plastic tubes that can be put together, three different carboard hoops and other stuff. The electronic game is used for the mental games but has a timer for the timed physical games.

Although there are 50 games, some of the games are duplicated as different variants. For example, stop zone is the same game but as three different variants. The cube is small and is mainly used as a capture device to catch balls or drop/throw/bounce balls into it.
