The descriptions and reviews are vague. I saw one review that said it teaches shapes and weight. What else does the game target? TIA

I bought it for my 2 year old great niece and she loves it. It teaches problem solving,math,science and engineering. The kids have to help Abby weigh items,fix the wheels on a car etc...simple and basic tasks that a pre-schooler can do. It is amazing to watch my niece using the Leapfrog and how quickly she figured it out. I highly recommend this game.

I dont believe that i said that it wasnt intended for children 13 and under in any of my reviews. I might be mistaken, but I don't think so. i think its a great game for kids.

Adults will like the game, although it is geared for children! A great game for the family and each hand goes quickly. A fast pace game and that is what will draw adults to the game. Hope this helps!

I was extremely disappointed with the game as I was sending it to older children. I was unable to find out the size of it. They were also disappointed with it as I know my nephew had to force them to say thank you fot it. I tried to make it up by sending them a large fuz ball table from Sears that was a big success. j.kilner

You just nailed it.It's an easy learning game. Very funny and is a fine transition between non complex and complex games. Buy it and enjoy it! Its an excellent cardgame

The game says "Adults of All Ages." It's has some mature themes so not for the kids and it's not very family friendly. There are other games out there that are more whimsical if you're looking to play with kids.

It's pretty basic, though I agree just reading the description left me wondering as well. We love it though! Even my 4 year old can play with us. Basically you have turtles and you have to give them directions (left right, straight) to get to their gem in the middle of the board. It is really more the idea of programming. The adult playing is the computer, and moves the turtles, while the kids are the programmers giving the directions. There are also different levels so as the kids get a feel for it, blocks can be added that they have to move around, or laser beam through.

I'm sorry but I am not at all familiar with it! I saw the game being used on Bravo TV one night when 3 people were playing it and ordered it for a thirty year old for a Christmas gift. she liked the game and plays it with her friends!

The game has a tutorial but it will explain everything to you once to discover things, for example it will explain to you the fight mechanics once you get to the first fight and is the same with all game mechanics.

I've found that it depends on the child. My 8 year old caught on fairly quickly and plays with us regularly. His friend, however, wasn't quite ready for the complexities of the game. So I'd suggest giving it a try and seeing if the child/ren can understand the game and find it enjoyable. (All of this is mainly speaking about the basic game rather than the expansion listed here.)

I would look at the recommendations for the game which you will find below the game when you look it up to get it. Always check to see what the game recommendations are. I think that this game is going to be okay because its a newer game. kitty58miner@gmail.com

I don't know. I just wanted a game that would be educational. I had never heard of the game before I read it in the newspaper.

This is played like a traditional board game, where you roll the dice and advance your player. You get pulled forward or pushed back based on where you land. To add to this, you are constructing a complex mouse trap on top of the board at the same time, one piece at a time. When conditions are right, you are able to run a round weight through the trap and possibly catch an opponent to make them lose the game. It's a fun game for everyone.

The concepts this game teaches could certainly apply to adults, in fact a digital version of this exercise was part of a introductory programming class I took years ago. As for playing with one person it works fine as there is not competition required for the game to work. I play it with my son all the time where I setup the board and he plays solo.

Take a look at the descriptions of the product. It gives the weight and dimensions. Yes, my husband and I play with our kids. It is just for fun, not competition. If you are looking for hardcore ping pong, you may not like it but serves our family just fine.

the package says for "ages 6 and up". the perplexus twist is like all of the other versions of the perplexus games, they have a learning process. this is especially true for the perplexus twist. the player must first study the location of the steps before starting the maze. i can say one thing for sure the perplexus twist is a great learning tool and it can also be a great game for bonding with a child. i highly recommend all of the plasmart perplexus games.if you already have any of the perplexus games you'll know what i mean. if you don't have any of the perplexus games, i would recommend that you start with the perplexus "rookie". i hope this has been of some help. i would like to add that in my opion the perplexus "epic" is the most difficult of them all. good luck and happy perplexing. by the way my grandsons were able to complete the "original perplexus" when they were only 4 yrs. old. you really can't underestimate a child's abilities.

No, the game is pretty much self-teaching. This animal crossing game was my first . Now, I understand it and it's loads of fun!
