Difference between Math Dice Jr and Math Dice? I have two kids, ages almost 10 and 4.5.

Jr. would be perfect for the 4.5 year old. It is a great hands on way to learn simple mental math for adding and subtracting up to the number twelve. Regular Math Dice is great for the older kids to work on all four functions (add, subtract, multiply and divide). You have to find the answer on the spot using brain power and not a calculator, tablet or Chromebook! It is fun to play, quick to complete and works. . . .keeps the adults sharp too. I am glad I purchased, great return on investment. :)

They would be able to handle it themselves...once they understand the rules. Though this is the Junior version of the game, there are still a few rules. My 7 year old kind of makes things up he doesn't remember when I'm not playing, but he still has a good time with his friends that are around his same age. If you're willing to play it a few times to help them learn the rules, then this game would be enjoyable to them by themselves. There's not much reading once you know the rules. Just rolling the dice and moving your pieces depending on what you roll.

Game inventor here! My twins were four when I developed the game to play with them. If you're curious, searching youtube for 'robot turtles' will show you lots of videos of four-year-olds playing the game. I hope your kids love it as much as mine do!

Junior HedBanz game. My 7-10 yos love it. Wobble Deck is a great game for this age group as well. Both are in my collection of board games for game night. No video games allowed here.

I just thought I'd answer even though this may be old. But we have had the JR version and my kids played that one since they were 4. Same game, but a bit easier for them and still fun for Mom and Dad!

Yes, these are 10 sets of ten dice. They worked really well in my classroom.

My kids really enjoy this game. I got it when my son was 4 and my daughter 7. They are now 5 and 8 and still like it. I think it would be less interesting for older kids though.

I have a five year old, and she is able to figure out this game. Certain levels seem harder, but she will ask for help. Don't waste your money on the younger version.

Teens and up. Some of the phrases may be difficult for or not make sense to smaller kids. I usually play with adults - it a lot of fun!

I would go with the Junior edition for a 9 year old. I doubt any of these are risque, just harder to guess. Games should be fun, not frustrating.

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.

When I get an expansion, I like to go though to cards and pull out the 2 or 3 that end up being too much for my younger kids. My 9 year old doesn't need to see the picture of the "Ether Bunny" getting high. Otherwise, for the most, it's fine. Keep in mind, it is a game of backstabbing your friends to get ahead, albeit in a humorous way. I have 4 boys, 9, 10, 16, and 17 and we all love it and they invite their friends. Little guys have no problem understanding it. I just realized how long winded this was, sorry. :)

My almost-10-year old loves it and so do I. He is good at math, though. If your child struggles with math, it might be more difficult (less fun?) for an 8-9 year old.

My 2yr old daughter is insane over her Innotab 2 and so is her 6yr old sister..lol so I would say from my experience it can last till shes 6 or older they have games for 6-7 yr olds so as she grows you can get the more advanced game.

I have played w/6 year olds. You just have to pick which cards to read to them. It's easy to do during the game or separate them ahead of time. No problem.

Catan Junior does not use the same materials as Catan. You can't mix and match the two sets at all. For a 10-year old, it all depends on how good they are with games. If they are pretty good at understanding and following rules, I would suggest Catan because I suspect they would grow out of Catan Junior a little faster. But Catan Junior is still a good game, so it might still be fun for a while.

10 and 13 years old played twice this week with 2 adults. Both loved it. They've been playing boardgames for about 3 years (pandemic, small world, castle panic, munchkins). Picked it up very fast. 13 year old quicker than 10 year old but both had a lot of fun.
