I don't see a recommended age range on the listing. I'm looking for a game for smart but very competetive kids age 7 and 10. Will this work?

My 7 & 8 year olds love this game so much. They aren't as savvy about clues within clues, but it doesn't diminish their enjoyment. When I play with them I have to keep this limitation in mind to not get frustrated, but that's the same for most games really!

Good question! My kids are also smart and competitive, but they're a little older. The game is pretty complicated, so we think you shouldn't get it until you've got teenagers in your house. It will be worth the wait. :)

Probably more suitable for the 10 year old. The object of the game is to not say a word giving away any clues or answers. Sometimes that's hard for the adults. Haha. It can be confusing at times, what you're allowed to do, and what you're not allowed to do.

It will and the rules kind of allow a range of difficulty that players can decide. You can play this by following rules very strictly or be loose and just have fun with it.

Hi!It depends on the kids. But i fear that it might involve too many parameters for the younger kid.You can try with smallworld (competitive) or pandemic (cooperative). Simpler but exellent games both.I hope it helps.Good luck!

My 2yr old daughter is insane over her Innotab 2 and so is her 6yr old sister..lol so I would say from my experience it can last till shes 6 or older they have games for 6-7 yr olds so as she grows you can get the more advanced game.

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.

Sure, ages 10 and up would be fine. Our whole family loves the game, including my eleven year old daughter. And it went to college with my other daughter. We also gifted it to several nieces and nephews ranging in age from 11-23.

My 3 year old nephew loves his - the games vary greatly in age appropriateness. My 7yr old niece still uses hers constantly. I had to get the little one a Leapster2 so they would stop fighting over it.

I'm not too experienced with children of that age, but I think they would have fun with it. It may be a bit tough, but I played video games at age 6.

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.

I will recommended for early age as it helps to develop the adding skills on kids, so 7 and up to keep the game interesting.

I don't think this would be good for a 7yo. We have purchased three games for ours, and my 15mo really enjoys it, but my 5yo (2nd grader) only plays with it to show her little sister how to play the games. My toddler can turn the music and drawing app on by herself. I think a Nintendo DS or Kindle Fire would be a much better purchase for a 7yo! My 5yo will stay on her Kindle Fire HD for hours if I let her!!

yes it is suitable for an 8 year old. we played it with my granddaughter. and she is 8 yrs. old. She loved playing it. The more people that play the more fun it is.

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

I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game. It's about recognition of colors and shapes, so if a child is able to distinguish those, it would be fun. Once they start playing, you will be able to tell if they are able to catch on, and if they aren't, it would be best to put up the game until they are able to catch on easier, to save them from being frustrated and not having fun. I've given these as gifts for kids as young as 4 and 5 and they have loved it. As adults playing with kids, naturally, you allow them to "win" a card to encourage play. It is fun with a group of kids with about the same skill level. My 8 year old can beat some adults!

I think so. I played with my nieces and nephews age 6, 8, and 10 and they did fine. It changes a bit from just adults or older kids, but they had a lot of fun with it.

I agree - it's too bad the game isn't more prominently flagged other than "Manufacturers Suggested Age: 17". The game is a lot of fun (with the right crowd, in small doses) - and definitely not for younger kids. That's what Apples to Apples is for.

Depends on their focus level. My 12 y/o nephew loves the game and has picked up on parts of the rules that I have missed. I would say not younger than 10 or 11 though.

The game says ages 8+ but I have found that most young kids (mine are 10, 12, 14) really don't find the game a lot of fun since life experience has not included many of the questions.
