Is this a good game for kids with Asperger's? My nephews, 8 and 10 years old are on the autism spectrum &amp; I wonder if this game would be appropriate

I don't know much about Aspberger's but I do know that it's a great game for kids that have a hard time taking time to focus and work through challenging situations. It's a fun game for sure!

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.

yes my son has been playing since he was 4 with some assistance, its really a great family game, my older kids (7& 9) enjoy playing too

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.

The game says "Adults of All Ages." It's has some mature themes so not for the kids and it's not very family friendly. There are other games out there that are more whimsical if you're looking to play with kids.

I took a look at the DV Giocci (the publisher) website and it has 8 and up. The listing is not correct. I will see if I can get that updated.Either game should be fine for families.The game is pretty easy and not graphically violent.DaveBoardgames4us

It depends on the child. The game is fun, the rules are fairly dimple but a pittle deep and may require a little bit of reading between the lines.Ive played it with a 9 year old and he had fun, but he didnt quite grasp the concept.Your boy will probably grow to love it.

Possibly. Suitable based on content? Yes. Suitable based on difficulty? Maybe.To be clear this is not a stand alone game and it requires the game 7 Wonders. If the kid in question is familiar with 7 Wonders than this expansion should be a breeze for a 7-8 year old.The game itself is quite fun and even if a 7-8 year old doesn't initially "get" it, I don't see why they couldn't after some trial and error. It's a great way to teach strategy, awareness, and a good time around a table.

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.

My son is 6 and my daughter is 8. Their friends have played it and loved it. My husband and I have played it and some of our friends and loved it. I think six ( any younger they might be to short) and older would be great.

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 7 and 8 year olds do great with it. My 5 year old struggled. He mostly just runs around and hits things. The Lego games are great because they are much like puzzles. You have to try and figure out the sequence of actions are before you can move forward. This proves a little challenging for my 5 year old and I would think most 4-5 year olds would enjoy it for the fact that they can "be Iron Man" or other character but they won't progress much in the game on their own and may get bored after a few minutes and want "help". Hope that helps.

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.

Hi, All ages love this game. Five year olds are a little young, but they differ in concentration and maturity. My suggestion would be that the five year old be allowed to be on a team with one of the grownups the first time they try to play. You should explain to them that this is a grown up game so that they won't feel frustrated if they can't play. EnjoyMorah Judy

I'm not a doctor so this is just my opinion. My son has ADHD and some of Asperger's behaviors, he used it a lot and played with it very often. He loves it. he is now 10 and he still loves to play but now he uses the electronic version :). I think it is great for brilliant minds like theirs :) hope they like it!!

I haven't played it much myself but it seems like it's a difficult game for someone that age. There are several game cards referencing people that a 9 year old would not know. As far as content, I think the content would be ok. I don't recall any questionable cards or anything like that. This is just based on what little I've played it. Hope I was able to help in some way.

It is a single player game. And it is rated T for teen. I don't know your kids, and I won't tell you how to be a parent (if I am wrong in assuming you are a parent, I apologize). While not over-the-top vulgar or bloody like most games nowadays, the rating is there for a reason and demands consideration. But the decision ultimately is up to you.
