WHAT AGE IS RIGHT FOR THIS GAME ?

My 8 and 6 year old have been playing it for at least two years. You can change the difficulty by length of the game (half way on the blue mat) or by how you use the dice to add, subtract, or combination to get to the answer. I would say some three years olds and most four year olds. The 8 yr old would rather play Math Dice instead of the Jr. game.

I bought for a 5 and 7 yo at the time, and it ended up being too easy for them. We just made new games out of it.

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 youngest appropriate age would be about 5 or 6. My 6 year old nephew played it pretty easily.

I took out maybe 4 or 5 cards to be able to play it with our ten year old. But I think mature kids would be fine. Of course, it's just a judgement call on your part.

Gail, I would let them manipulate the cubes for a awhile before launching into the game. If all else fails, just hold it until they are old enough. My 11 year old can almost beat me! FUN.

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 game if played as is, would be appropriate for young children through maybe 7 or 8. Older, depending on the developmental age and ability of of the child. I have modified it by making my own cards for the doors (a simple word template and import your own pictures, numbers, categories, etc.) so it works for older kids.

I would say 8+. Anyone younger could play, but this game is all about the ability to react fast and a much younger crowd might not be able to react as quickly as someone a little older. If paired up with a child around the same age it's great for any age. Me and my wife are in our mid 20's and we love it. My son loves it, when playing with someone around his age :)

I think anyone from age 3 to 10 can play on it just fine, I am 33 years old and I sometimes get up on it with my kids(not recommended) but my kids love it they are actually jumping on it now :-)) just keep a watch on them as they play

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.

This is a pretty simple game. But certain strategies a more experienced player could use may merit the game less fun. A young (8+) player could definitely play.

In my opinion, any child from 1-2 and up would have fun playing with it, however, it has small coins that they can put in their mouth, I would say its safe for kids older than 3. My 5 year old got it for Christmas last year, and seems like she will be enjoying it for many years to come since she loves to play store.

I would say age 5 and up. They place players and pretend play as they go. I would think it would be most enjoyed by those who know, watch, or play football. We use it for indoor recess at our school. We have lost the goal posts and the football, but they still play with it.

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.

I'd say it's best for 2/3 to 6/7 year olds. I have a 3 yr old and 5 yr old who play with it a ton (both girls) and their big brother (8 yrs old) joins in sometimes but loses interest quickly.

I own the game and I would say about 8+, or really any child who is adept at using a DS and can read words with 10-12 characters and understand. It does demand a decent understanding of the English language and a basic understanding of how towns work and what "ordinances" are and things like that. Nothing is inappropriate or bad for young eyes/ears but it takes a good amount of knowledge to decipher the directions and conversations.That being said, if you plan on helping the child out with reading and things and play time, it's perfectly fine for any age :).

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.
