What is the minimum recommended age for this game?

The paperwork does state 8 and up. It's basically the same game as the original one so if you have a child that can play the original then they shouldn't have a problem with this one.

The recommended age would be about the same as any other Yahtzee game, which is 8 years and up. This Doctor Who version is no more and no less complicated than the original version of the game.

The game is realy easy. If you start by the basic set, with the starter rules, without the use of special atacks, it may be playable by a 6 years old kid, with the supervision of an adult.

Six would be probably the minimum you would want to play. It is a lot of fun. All ages can play.

We actually purchased 2 for Christmas gifts for our grandsons. One was almost eight years old. The other was three and a half. Both do fine with it. We make sure we purchase age appropriate games.

I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game. It's about recognition of colors and shapes, so if a child is able to distinguish those, it would be fun. Once they start playing, you will be able to tell if they are able to catch on, and if they aren't, it would be best to put up the game until they are able to catch on easier, to save them from being frustrated and not having fun. I've given these as gifts for kids as young as 4 and 5 and they have loved it. As adults playing with kids, naturally, you allow them to "win" a card to encourage play. It is fun with a group of kids with about the same skill level. My 8 year old can beat some adults!

Sure, ages 10 and up would be fine. Our whole family loves the game, including my eleven year old daughter. And it went to college with my other daughter. We also gifted it to several nieces and nephews ranging in age from 11-23.

We bought this for our grandson. Although they wanted it he was too young for it. I would think 3 is the minimum age for this.

Absolutely. The artwork is whimsical but that doesn't mean that the game is childish. The box notes 13+ if that is any indication. This game is a blast and adults would get maximum enjoyment out of it and understand/play out strategies the best. We usually play this with folks 25+

I'd say at least 8. The game says 13+, but I definitely know some 8 year olds that could handle it (though my 5-year old isn't quite there yet). My wife and I love playing it 2-player and we love getting together with friends to play 3 or 4-player. It has become our new favorite since we bought it a couple months ago and all our friends love it as well and have invited us over just so that we would play the game with them. In other words, it's a hit for all ages! We'll be getting an expansion for Christmas for sure!

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.

Kids who are advanced, and anyone who likes games like Scrabble. It's fast and it's fun. My six-year old grand-daughter, who is amazing, could do it with a little help.Great family fun, or with friends. I'd say 8-99.

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.

The game says ages 1-6. We enjoy playing with our grandson who is 11 yrs and some of the questions are very challenging for us adult as well as him.

When I bought it my daughter was 3, she loved it. She loves building things though, so if your grandchildren enjoy that then it should be fun for both ages. I bought another set for 2 6 yr old boys and they love it. I think it's a fun all family game. But I believe the package recommended age is 8

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 checked with my 12 year old and he said the game might be too challenging for a 5 year old, can be done with lots of parental help. He thinks 8 might be a better age but if your grandson is really good on the computer he may be able to have some fun with this.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 8 year old, so I hope that it's age appropriate. He loves the video game also, but Dad played Risk as a kid, so thought it was a great fit. Sorry I can't answer until after Christmas gifts are opened! Good luck!
