I have 3 kids, ages 12, 10, and 7. Can they play this game and have fun, or is it the kind of thing that only adults get?

I think they'll love it. Personally I think this game would be better suited for kids.

My kids are 9 and 11 and love the game. As long as a kid can read the card, they'll enjoy it (many of the cards involve a "secret", so it's not something that another player can help a younger non-reader with).

I think all three of your kids would still enjoy it. There aren't many overly complicated cards (the only ones I can think of that are crazy are Chaos cards, and those are optional anyway). The game itself is quite random and appropriate for all ages - no swearing, etc. The game keeps everyone on their toes so they honestly could do very well.

Absolutely. You should watch all the videos on YouTube of all the adults playing this game. Some of them are really creative, some not so creative, but they have a great time. I don't play myself but the kids love this game on Xbox and since we also have Play Station I thought they could try it on there as well.

No! I used to play it with my 4 and 6 year old. It's a great game and good way to incorporate fun with relevant learning.

My child was 10 when I bought it, he almost didn't have enough attention span to make it to the end so we made our own rules and modified the game. We've played the Ravensburger Make N Break family game that I bought for a friend. Adults included had a great time. We really enjoyed it.

I think that the whole family can play it at once. Kids that do not understand it as well could just have fun gathering the cards that they can "afford", which can sabotage other players, which is a fun strategy to play. The learning curve for this game is variable, based on the person, but it is really fun, especially when playing with more people. One thing to keep in mind is that, in my experience, this is not a game to have conversation during. Each person is focused on what card s/he needs to play next, which does not lend itself to talking.

This game can be played by both of the groups that you have proposed here, equally well. I haven't played with any kids under 13, and the 13 year old loves it, so I suspect the minimum age might be around 8 or 10.

Several players can play and actually is more fun. My sister & my grandchildren played and loved it. There were 7 kids and 1 adult playing.

My five year old loves it. It's too hard for my 3 year old. My 8, 10, and 12 year olds love it just as much as the five year old. (Try to master this yourself, it's no "rookie" game.) Harder than it seems. But simple enough to get the 5 year olds hooked.

YES, It is primarily for kids...you guess if you're a ladder, a cheeseburger, a dog, etc. Adults can play this with the kids for sure and it be fun enough. BUT, I purchased this for my kids. Just so you know, the 4 year old pretty much just tells everyone what they are, so ages 6 and up would be what I would consider this game.

Yes, we are senior adults and play it on a regular basis. It is best for only 2 to 4 people. It is quite addictive.

The side of the box says "13+" but I'd expect that someone as young as 8 could enjoy this game. As for what age group it's "best for," I can tell you that a very wide range of age groups can throughly enjoy this game. I estimate it would be ideal for 13-30, but I have played it with my parents and they enjoyed it. I would absolutely recommend this game if you are considering getting it.

Yes! My family loved playing altogether from ages 7 to 55. Lots of fun and laughs for everyone, and the younger kids can still win!

We played once with my game group of 40 somethings and it was liked, but we wouldn't play it again together, most likely. It is not enough of an analytical game for us. However I play with my son, 11, and daughter, 14, a lot and we love it. It can be played and enjoyed at ANY age - it plays best for those who know each other pretty well and for those with vivid imaginations. It really is fun, filler type game.

I think a small group could enjoy, but it's definitely "rollicking fun" with bigger groups. We loved it for family reunions! If the four of you are all on the same level of ability and knowledge base then it could still be fun. We enjoyed including children and giving them ideas of what to act out. If it's two adults and two younger kids, it could still be fun for each parent to work with a child, but it will be quite a different game than 5-6 per team jumping right in with crazy acting out. Does that help at all?

My kids are 6 and 10 and they absolutely love this game. We play it as a family!

I haven't the answer to that. I can tell you that my son's family had great fun with this game and that it worked for ages from late childhood through adult. Everyone played!

My 6 year old can play it. However, an adult needs to play to do all the game mechanics, but both my 6 year old boy, and my friends 6 year old girl play well and have developed good strategies to defeat the villians.
