Any reason this game would be inappropriate for experienced game players age 8 & 10?

This is totally appropriate for an 8 & 10 year old. Nothing violent or sexually explicit. I am the mom who bought this upon request of my 15yr old son and I am NOT an experienced gamer. Despite my lack of gaming knowledge, our first attempt at playing lasted well under an hour. We can now sit down and play a full game in about 30 minutes while dinner is finishing. The hubby & kids like the artwork and "gamer" feel. I like that it's a card game that I can play equally well with no particular gaming experience. All in all, a pretty good family game that doesn't take forever and most certainly is not offensive. This is totally appropriate for an 8 & 10 year old. Nothing violent or sexually explicit.

No. All text and graphics are void of sexual and violent content. Even those cards that depict weapons have them integrated into a complex design the de-emphasizes them. The game is safe to share with my 5 year old granddaughter ... not that she would understand it in the least. I can think of several animated Disney movies with more sex and violence than this game. Be aware, however, that it is a complex game. Your first game with the young'uns could last 2-4 hours and they will inevitably make a lot of mistakes. Remind them that the first game is a learning process for everyone and they'll do much better every game afterwards. I know that is true for most games, but ESPECIALLY this one.

Nope. Good interactive game-play. The artwork shows some men in gladiator garb and men and women in modest togas.

The game that I have played with has two cards with very immodest dress that I would consider inappropriate. The baths and the alter.

As mentioned by "The Me Series", the version I received has two cards with very immodest dress that I would consider inappropriate. The baths and the alter. There also some gladiator cards with bit too much blood that I rather not let my kids play and will be returning the game.

Yes, the concept of the game is fairly simple and it is a collaborative game versus a competitive one. I would put the bottom age range at about 8 years old, whom should be able to easily pick up the rules and what to do

I have played with 12-15-year-olds, and it works great. Don't know about 10-year-olds. And I didn't know there was a junior version. Sorry I can't be more definitive.

My kids have played it and they are 5 and 7. My 5 year old picked the rules up pretty fairly quickly and my 7 year old figured it out right away. Both of them enjoyed it a lot. I imagine ages 4-10 would be a good range.

I think a kid as young as 10 has played. Not sure how much enjoyment anyone younger than that will get out of it. Basically, if they are old enough to play Risk they may have fun.

I think it's pretty unisex as far as games go. Either sex should enjoy and five is a good age. By 7 or 8 it's probably too easy for them.

If you are thinking of this game for your 10-year-old to play with friends, I would definitely suggest finding another game. This is a very fun game, but it is more for adults, not for the typical 10-year-old. Although you make up answers to the questions, the questions are suited to at least a high school education. Also, everyone takes a turn being the "dealer", and there is a lot going in that position. Of course you can always skip your 10-year-old.

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 think this game would be great for a ten year old. There's nothing terribly violent about it. Usually players are fighting fantasy monsters. Thr main issue i could see with younger players is that it is complex at first and the game takes a while. You may want to learn the rules well yourself and decide if you should adjust the game to be quicker.

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 would say this is appropriate for teenagers and older. The premise is to kill monsters and equip things like the "Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment." Probably not a game for your kids.

The game is only as scary as you try and make it. It's probably not appropriate for children under the age of 13. It's a survival horror game, that roughly heavily emphasizes on murder, and SPOIL ALERT!!!!!! One of the scenarios involve cannibalism.

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.

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've found that it depends on the child. My 8 year old caught on fairly quickly and plays with us regularly. His friend, however, wasn't quite ready for the complexities of the game. So I'd suggest giving it a try and seeing if the child/ren can understand the game and find it enjoyable. (All of this is mainly speaking about the basic game rather than the expansion listed here.)

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 is stated to be for 10 and up. It can certainly get inappropriate if the crowd itself is inappropriate. All the answers come from everyone's own opinions and usually the topic is fairly wide, for example "What is the worst gift to receive?" Of course any game that has open ended answers can be a bit tricky, but I have played with me 11 year old brother-in-law and he has had no issues with it, unless someone wrote something down he didn't understand.
