Feel like playing programmer?

Igor Kholodov developed a game called C-Jump to demonstrate to his son the basics of computer proramming. The object of the game is to get a skier down a mountain by rolling a die and finding the fastest path down the mountain. The paths are labeled with basic math and logic symbols, the working tools of computer programming. There are not many educational toys out there that fall into this category. It's worth looking at for that reason alone.

More details here including some good pictures of the game and more background.
