The Amazon Product Details state this game is recommend for ages 10 - 14 years. Is that correct?

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.

it is mostly counting up your attack points, besides reading the cards and following directions. there is some strategy to using the curse cards and how you use items, but that doesn't stop my 8 year old from playing with us.

Our 10 yr old AND our 7 yr old play the game and love it. The 7 yr old required some guidance from one of us for several games until he got the hang of things (then again, so did the 10 yr old), and he still sometimes needs a little advice when figuring out his total battle strength, some rules, etc. (but then again, so does our 10 yr old...and so do I, for that matter!). But he mostly plays on his own, and he's won more games than anyone else in our family. We play it together most weekends. It's a great game for kids, especially ones who love silly violence humor.

My family only played it once. We are all adults but I think 10-14 year olds will find this game exciting too.

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.

Yes, my son was playing it a 10 years old. Requires lots of reading of the rules and playing cards.

TLDR: playable by the whole family with a little coaching.The game box itself recommends players ages 10 and up.In my opinion, children who are familiar with Euro games and who have at least a middle school-level reading comprehension will probably be able to play competitively and find the game enjoyable.Having said that, be aware that younger players may face a particular challenge with learning this game initially. Each turn, players are called on to pick one card from a hand (which starts at seven and decreases each turn) to play. Trying to decipher the best choice is daunting at first, even for adults. My suggestion: play 1 or 2 open-hand dummy matches so that everyone gets a feel for it.Happy gaming!

I'd say that a ten year old should be able to play and like this game but it can take some time to get set up and put back neatly into the box.

Probably not for most 6 year olds. Not only are there a lot of dice involved, but a lot of advanced concepts. I would have been fine playing it at 10, but a lot of other people could have trouble at 14.

Yup. The game is good for adults. I wouldn't suggest it before age 10 or so, as simple as the rules are, reading comprehension is a must. Particularly good for folks who don't know each other well yet.

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.

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.

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.

i would say 8 -14 . i bought it for my 13 year old grandson, and my 8 year old granddaughter likes to play it and so does the 10 year old friends
1842628
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.

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.

I think it is challenging enough for a 12 year old, a bit hard for a four year old but would still really enjoy it with some help. My 9 1/2 year old loves it.A 12 year old would probably tolerate it, it is geared toward kids about 6-10 I think. But it would challenge her since you have to memorize several things at once. I would definitely depend on the child. My 7 and 9 years olds like games Citizens of Catan, Monopoly, and easy ones like yatzee, and uno. I enjoy it as an adult, its fun

The game comes with simplified, quick start rules. Even with the quick start rules the game would be difficult for a 6 year old; however, he/she should be able to start learning the basic mechanics of the game or play with an adult. The manufacturer recommends 14 years of age or older. See GameBoardGeek.com for more detailed information about this fun game.

Our family loved the game but my niece is 18. There are a lot of pop culture references that are older so its harder for young kids to get clues like "Neil Diamond". Don't let it stop you because we can bridge the gap. I am thinking 10 and up!

That's at the young end of kids who would enjoy this the most. I think 10-13 is the optimal age to play this like it was intended to be played.

I think the "difficulty" level is no problem for a 10 year-old, especially one who is a good reader (the cards used in play require a bit of reading). However, the game play does involve themes that some parents might want to talk about with their younger children before setting them lose with the game (e.g. demons, witches, etc.) Before giving the game to your son, I suggest reading through the cards to see if they are on his reading level and checking to make sure that you are comfortable with the themes that part of the game.

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.
