Is this a game that the whole family can play at once, or will kids be overmatched by adults?

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 that the whole family can play it at once. Kids that do not understand it as well could just have fun gathering the cards that they can "afford", which can sabotage other players, which is a fun strategy to play. The learning curve for this game is variable, based on the person, but it is really fun, especially when playing with more people. One thing to keep in mind is that, in my experience, this is not a game to have conversation during. Each person is focused on what card s/he needs to play next, which does not lend itself to talking.

I definitely would consider the recommended age on the box. Beyond that I would say that it is a game that takes some time to learn a good strategic approach to. This will probably take some more time for kids to learn to play competitively than adults but with that being said; I think they can enjoying playing with the whole family and will enjoy it more once they get the hang of the game.

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.

I think all three of your kids would still enjoy it. There aren't many overly complicated cards (the only ones I can think of that are crazy are Chaos cards, and those are optional anyway). The game itself is quite random and appropriate for all ages - no swearing, etc. The game keeps everyone on their toes so they honestly could do very well.

I would say yes, but it depends on what kinds of adults will be playing. It's a strategy game, so one has to think a lot. But if you thoroughly enjoy the company of your friends, I'm fairly certain this will be a good match.

No Since there is a picture of the item it will be easy for young children to play. Adults will also enjoy this game. Fun for the whole family. The head band also fits all sizes.

Yes, it is a very good game for older children and adults. My husband and I have enjoyed playing this game with our 10 year old, and there are very few games we can all agree on.

No! I used to play it with my 4 and 6 year old. It's a great game and good way to incorporate fun with relevant learning.

Yes definitely suitable. The speed of the game will be slow initially but once the kids get hold of the game, you will be amazed at their observation n quickness. My boy and his friends enjoyed this game alot. They are all 4 yrs old.

Adults will like the game, although it is geared for children! A great game for the family and each hand goes quickly. A fast pace game and that is what will draw adults to the game. Hope this helps!

It is most fun with two or more players with similar math skills. I have one child and we play together. However...she is more motivated when playing with her friends.

Depends on the kid. My newly turned 7 year son has played a good 5 times or so with me now and basically gets it, but still needs some help...he still loves it though. You can play it with them, but not expect them to play it with a group of kids - requires supervision and aid. Probably more 9-10.

Yes... 2 groups of 10 people. In addition, this game tends to be more fun depending on who you play with. Make sure you have people who aren't too afraid to be silly and who tend to think outside of the box:)

We find it a fun family game. Our six year old grandson loves to play with us and most of the time knows more answers to questions correctly than the adults do. It is a fun and family oriented game. If they watch the show and understand then they are old enough to play.

Hi!It depends on the kids. But i fear that it might involve too many parameters for the younger kid.You can try with smallworld (competitive) or pandemic (cooperative). Simpler but exellent games both.I hope it helps.Good luck!

We played with adults and teens and had a great time with it-- but after we played once, I gave it to my niece who has 5, 7, and 9 year olds. I think they will love it even more.

In our family, yes. It depends on how your teenager sees the game. It is challenging and fun for even two adults to play in my mind. And we do!
