Would you let a MATURE 13 year old boy play this game?

Yes, I would most of the generation of children nowadays are used to rated M which is not entirely a bad thing

That's a call based on the parent. I personally wouldn't let one play it considering that it can in some ways endorse illegal activities, and the game's language is pretty bad. Not to mention the strip clubs you can freely walk into and multiple sex scenes in the single player.

I admire the game for its artwork and creation of a fascinating virtual world. It is amazing what level of realism can be achieved with plain software. Some of the actions and decisions that players have to take in this game can feel quite disturbing though. I can understand why the game is controversial. While I believe that violent games don't necessarily have a negative impact on the development of children, I probably would not let my children play this particular game.

I would think of it this way. You should play it with your boy and explain things along the way. Just like would you let them watch Road warriors the movie by them selves or with you watching it with them.

I'd say this game is appropriate for an 8 year old. I look at this game as a kids game. There is no blood and gore what so ever in the game. Theres also no profanity, drug use, sexual themes as well.. Im 21 years old and i play this game with my younger brother whos actually 9. So to answer your question, it isnt inappropriate for an 8 year old. I would recommend going on youtube and looking up the gameplay so you can have a look for yourself.

My husband and I are addicted to this game, and we're in our 50s. I think that kids 8-12 could play, but they probably wouldn't play as well as an adult. It does take some strategy and I think my grandchildren, who are near that age, probably wouldn't be very good players.

Oh yes, we are a family of adults who play, our grandson who is 6 will usually play with us but we simplified some of the rules so he could play on his own. This is a strategy game that is not too intense. I would say 8 - 12 is a good beginning age but we have fun playing this as a group of 20 to 60 year olds.

I think it would certainly be appropriate. The game moves up in complexity as the child grasps the more basic concepts. I have a 6.5 year old daughter who enjoys this game very much and finds it challenging enough not to be boring.

I think it's kinda small for a 13 year old. Regardless of fun or for real practicing she could play it but probably wouldn't get what she wants out of it. I'd go a little bigger. Hope this helps!

While fluxx and the derivative versions of the game are not overly complicated, they certainly require players to be thinking about multiple things at once, all of those things subject to change. I would think that this game could be played by a 10 year old, but probably not appreciated as much as a teenager or adult would appreciate it.Hope this helps!

Maybe not. I got it for my 8 year old grandson and he enjoys it but doesn't play as much as he did. The games are pretty simple.

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.

Yes. Both my 9 year old and 13 year old loves the game. Kids that plays chess and do puzzles would like the games.

It was for me...I'm 40...LOL. My son is 13 and he plays with it sometimes. We have nerf wars in the house.

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!

If you had an older player discussing the choices they could make with them I would say yes. The game itself would not lend itself to simplification.

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.

Definitely yes, I've played board games and role-playing with my children since they were 8 years old and they remember fondly.This particular game I would recommend you to play with your children themselves are over 16 year. There are many issues, look for one that you believe is in accordance with the education you have given.regards.Sorry for my english.

I bought this game for a 29 year old and he loved it! I honestly don't know about children that young, nothing objectionable in it that I am aware of....requires a lot of manual dexterity.
