Is this a good game for young children to join?

My 7 year old daughter caught on really quick. The dice are quite easy to read and interpret. My 5 year old boy had more trouble but love playing the monsters and was catching on. Main problem with him was he kept moving the boards. I hope that helps

Yes. I think they would especially like the little mouse figures. It didn't really hold my children's attention, though. Part way through the game, they had lost interest.

My 12 year old and 15 year old boys enjoy it. While the basic mechanics of the game could be understood by you get kids along with adult assistance, they might loose interest because of the length of time it takes to play. However, the game is set up to be stopped at times and then resumed later so it could be good for you get kids as well. I hope this helps, good luck!

My six year old son LOVES this game, but my four year old daughter has zero interest. Can't fault her, she's only four, but this game seems to really capture the imagination of those 6+.

I wouldn't advise for children under 8 as they may not understand the rules. Also the average game takes 2-3 hrs

Our 9 year old seemed to enjoy it but he hasn't asked since the first game. So if your kids would enjoy a game like this then it is excellent.

I would say no. I have a six and a nine year old, both who love games. And I'm just teaching my nine year old how to play these sorts of games. Games I would suggest for 6yo; Get Bit, Robots, King of Tokyo. Good luck! :)

I've played 7 Wonders with 7 & 8yo's. It's a little rough for that age group. Remember, this is an expansion to the main 7 Wonders game, so if they can play the main game, adding this shouldn't be a problem. The best thing about the game is even adults have a hard time figuring out if they're winning until the end, so even playing with younger players can be fun.

Yes, I'm using it with the older 4 year olds in my preschool class. They need to be talked through searching for the matching animals for awhile and it depends on their personality and how you present it wether they'll take to it. If they like other seek and find books or games they'll be ready for this.

Yes! My kids are 7 and 5, and both love playing this game as a family. Even us adults have fun looking for the objects.

I think this is the same game just w/ smaller pieces. We play this game at home all the time and the size is not a problem for my 8&11yr olds. I think the bigger pieces would be easier to line up for some kids.

Agreed. Two is fun for one-on-one time with our five-year-old, but I could imagine several people could play. However, since part of the game involves being the first person to call out a match, it seems to me like more than 4 could be a hassle.

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.

In my opinion, any child from 1-2 and up would have fun playing with it, however, it has small coins that they can put in their mouth, I would say its safe for kids older than 3. My 5 year old got it for Christmas last year, and seems like she will be enjoying it for many years to come since she loves to play store.

Definitely. It's one of my six year old's favorites and I'm sure a five year old could play. Sometimes (when her sister's been winning a lot) we make the game easier by not making her memorize all the cards but allowing her multiple peaks either on some or all of the cards. As with most games it's helpful to talk little ones through decisions they make the first few times they play it.

The game contains cards with the most recognizable animals, so it could work for very young children who know their animals! The competitive aspect of the game ensures it could hold the attention of older kids too. I actually use it with my beginning ESL learners from different countries.

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.

Yes. My 5 and 7 year old grandkids really like it. I play it with them, and it's fun for me too!

Yes! This is a terrific games. We taught our 9 yr old granddaughter to play and she loves it. Numbers instead of dots is a big help in playing the game.

It's a fast game so it would be suitable for teenagers and up. Hope that helps

I definitely would consider the recommended age on the box. Beyond that I would say that it is a game that takes some time to learn a good strategic approach to. This will probably take some more time for kids to learn to play competitively than adults but with that being said; I think they can enjoying playing with the whole family and will enjoy it more once they get the hang of the game.

When I bought it my daughter was 3, she loved it. She loves building things though, so if your grandchildren enjoy that then it should be fun for both ages. I bought another set for 2 6 yr old boys and they love it. I think it's a fun all family game. But I believe the package recommended age is 8
