No, 11 is not too old. Even adults like playing this game and it's really fun playing with kids and adults. Adults can play singly or team with a child. It's a blast. Helps to develop childs abstract visual perception skills. The adults too, ha,ha. Might be too late for the oldies though. Ha.

Not at all. At our Christmas gatherings, adults were playing without any of the kids. In fact, I'm not really sure why it is classified as a kids game.

definitely not, i bought specifically to play with the kids, something that i would find fun and challenging as well...

My 16-25 year old nieces and nephews had fun playing over Christmas. I would think an 11 year old would have fun too.

I think kids that are competitive and like a challenge really love it. I think 11 is a great age. It can be addictive and it is really good for giving your brain a "workout".

Definitely not. I had a blast playing this with my siblings and we're 33, 30, 27 and 18. She'll love it.

11 is not too old. In fact, this is a great game for adults too. Anyone who likes a fast competitive game will enjoy it. FYI, there is another version for younger kids. This version is fine for someone who is 11.

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.

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).

We have 12grandkids and both games. They don't understand the older game if they are 7. We have an 8 year old and junior is a little a.dvanc.ed....

It is geared toward younger kids, the games would be too easy for an 8 year old. I think all of them max out at 8 for the age range, (many are 4-6 year old, and some are 5-8). The game system would probably interest them for a few hours or days max.

The game is recommended for mature 17+ but im sure a 9yr old has seen the type of violence portrayed in video game. I would say it would best if a parent monitored the child while playing. I dont see any reason why not. Im sure there are kids younger than 9 with this game.

I think it might be a bit small for an eleven year old. I bought it for my 6 year old grandson and it was perfect for him. I would say the age would be up to 8 years old.

The more we've played it one thing has come up. The 11 year old didn't know some of the questions. So the later eedition might be more current. Other then that I am not sure it matters.

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.

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.

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.

It has an 18 age rating. If I was the parent I would not buy it for my child. But, my sister feels my nephew has a maturity at 16 to play it. He grew up in a rough city so he was never going to stay a kid for long. I would hope that no child of 13 has lost their innocence enough to play a game like this, but the world is not that kind to everyone.

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.

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.

I would say 10 and up! My 11 year old got on in about 2 hours, and now its her fav game!! we started just doing the 1st 3 phases over and over, and I also bought her a little card holder to make it easier for her, and also a card shuffler, they both help out when its her turn to shuffle, and she can hold all her cards with the card holder...this game rocks!

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!

I purchased this for my 4 year old daughter and she is enjoying it..along with my 10 year old daughter! The remote part is definitely more geared to a young child.. It is cute for an older child.. My only concern would be that your 11 year old would get bored with it quickly because of the simplicity of it. That said, my 10 year has been playing with it along with the 4 yr old and they both love it. I'm not sure I really helped you make the decision.. But at least you know an older child will enjoy it even though it is geared toward a younger child. Have a good day!
