what age group plays this game?

I would say third grade and up. It is a fast paced game with a lot going on at once. It took my second graders awhile to get the hang of the game.

The package states 7 and up. As a teacher and cognitive therapist, I've used it with players as young as 4 by adapting how they play and have adults that enjoy it as well.

The box says 7+, but you CAN use it with younger kids. We have a center with at least one student who's younger and it's helpful with keeping his attention. The game is best played with kids around 9 or 10, though, if you want to play full speed! It's a REALLY fun game. Easy and quick. I've bought three sets now! Spend a little extra and get the tin - it's neater than the box.

It says age 7 and up but my 5 year old enjoys it too. Fun for a 2 player adult game also. Easy to learn.

I teach 3rd grade and the class really enjoys this game; and the adults enjoy playing it with them. I also have grandchildren from 5 to 16 and they will play it together. It is worth the price (and kids don't realize it helps them with patterns, flexible thinking, and eye scanning ability).

I'm 50 something and love playing this game with my wife and our 3 sons who are in their 20's. So my answer is yes. This game is lot's of fun.

Yes, this is a great game for adults - in fact, that is the only group I play this with. I'm surprised to see such a young age range - I would not recommend it for anyone under 15. It requires planning multiple steps ahead, and I've found children have not developed that skill.

I played the game with my 11 year old brother. The game is difficult for a 10 or 11 year old. They will not know what many of the words or phrases mean, or how to describe them in a short amount of time. The game itself is not inappropriate for someone of that age, but it is difficult.

Hi, All ages love this game. Five year olds are a little young, but they differ in concentration and maturity. My suggestion would be that the five year old be allowed to be on a team with one of the grownups the first time they try to play. You should explain to them that this is a grown up game so that they won't feel frustrated if they can't play. EnjoyMorah Judy

Depends on your family. We played with a 17 and 19 year old and they enjoyed it

The box says 8 and up, and I completely agree. The average eight year old who enjoys challenging games would be perfectly capable of doing well playing this game. But don't let that fool you -- my husband and I have played countless times with intelligent adults who absolutely love the game, too! It can be a challenge, depending on how deep your 'strategizing' goes.

Yes, we play it with our 10-year-old daughter. We help her a bit with the strategy, but she enjoys the game.

I think so - I'm in my late 40s, and I play this game with other adults in the same age range. The game rewards strategy and cooperation and is in no way childish.

Absolutely. The artwork is whimsical but that doesn't mean that the game is childish. The box notes 13+ if that is any indication. This game is a blast and adults would get maximum enjoyment out of it and understand/play out strategies the best. We usually play this with folks 25+

Ages 7 and up would be best. My 5 year old nephew tries to play, but it's pretty difficult for him.

No it is not correct. It has some crude humor in it. I would say 14 - any age. My friends and I are in our 20's and we love it. This game, while simple in its nature, takes a lot of strategic planning in order to win, as everyone is against each other. Though if a 10 year old got good at it, they would probably really advanced in their processing abilities later in life.

Any age. My younger grandkids, age 5 and up have a blast. This is our favorite game at the holidays!

Oh yes, we are a family of adults who play, our grandson who is 6 will usually play with us but we simplified some of the rules so he could play on his own. This is a strategy game that is not too intense. I would say 8 - 12 is a good beginning age but we have fun playing this as a group of 20 to 60 year olds.

My eleven year old plays it with the neighbor kids, all range from ages 5 to 12. They like it; it's one of those things that when it was new they played constantly and after a month or two they tired of it. Then i put it away for a while and when it came back out everyone was excited again for a while.

I bought for a gift for 2 children aged 5 and 8 years. I don't remember the age group written on the pkg. The children the game went to really like it. Hope that helps.
