My son is 4.5 but i have been playing more complex game like Tic to Ride, Forbidden Island, Jr. Catan..etc i wonder is this game will be suitable?

Sounds like your son's critical thinking are great! I would definitely challenge him with r.t. Because this fame is different in that it is all about creating a sequence. It is a different way of thinking and there is much to be gained from practicing it.

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!

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'd say so. The game starts out pretty basic, but through the "unlockables" and advanced game modes there is a ton of room for increased complexity. I have a bright, game-playing, puzzle-doing 4 year old who loves Robot Turtles, and I'd estimate we've only tapped into about one quarter of what it offers.

The game play for Robot Turtles is not complex, but is based on solving a "programming" challenge that an adult sets for the child. As children learn how to create a path using the tiles, the difficulty can be increased, and different challenges can be created for different children playing at the same time.

As a general rule I'd say yes but that completely depends upon their experience with video games, fine motor skills and spacial reasoning. At the age of 4-5 your kids may be a bit young for this type of game but only just barely. Nothing is innapropriate for young kids so even if there is fighting it won't be offensively violent. If your kids don't yet have the physical coordination to play this game then they will develop that skill by playing this game. The game world in this game is expansive. Trust me, it's huge. You can get lost in it quite easily. My kid is 9 and has been enjoying lego video games for a few years. Around age 6-7 he started getting into the story lines of the games.

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!

yes my son has been playing since he was 4 with some assistance, its really a great family game, my older kids (7& 9) enjoy playing too

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.

Thats a difficult question to answer, since it all depends of the personal preferences of gamers, I bought this game and was a total failure for my wife and two kids, even though i like it. We played many BG, such 7 Wonders, King of New York, Splendor, Brugge, etc. I would say that this game would be for adults than families with young kids.

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! I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game.

Absolutely!!! I introduced my son to the game when he was about four years old and when I taught school, even my fifth graders loved it! When they are really young you can play with all of the cards "up". Once they catch on, play with two up and two down, but no peeking.... it helps them first know the value of numbers and then the memory of where they are at!

I've found that it depends on the child. My 8 year old caught on fairly quickly and plays with us regularly. His friend, however, wasn't quite ready for the complexities of the game. So I'd suggest giving it a try and seeing if the child/ren can understand the game and find it enjoyable. (All of this is mainly speaking about the basic game rather than the expansion listed here.)

I would say no. I have a six and a nine year old, both who love games. And I'm just teaching my nine year old how to play these sorts of games. Games I would suggest for 6yo; Get Bit, Robots, King of Tokyo. Good luck! :)

My son is 5 an he still loves it. There are different games you can buy for different age groups if that helps.

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 think the game is best at 2 or 3 personally. It gets a bit too easy with 4 or 5, not that it is very difficult to start with. So to answer your question, yes it is fun with 2.

I haven't played it much myself but it seems like it's a difficult game for someone that age. There are several game cards referencing people that a 9 year old would not know. As far as content, I think the content would be ok. I don't recall any questionable cards or anything like that. This is just based on what little I've played it. Hope I was able to help in some way.

I think it is challenging enough for a 12 year old, a bit hard for a four year old but would still really enjoy it with some help. My 9 1/2 year old loves it.A 12 year old would probably tolerate it, it is geared toward kids about 6-10 I think. But it would challenge her since you have to memorize several things at once. I would definitely depend on the child. My 7 and 9 years olds like games Citizens of Catan, Monopoly, and easy ones like yatzee, and uno. I enjoy it as an adult, its fun

I think this game would be great for a ten year old. There's nothing terribly violent about it. Usually players are fighting fantasy monsters. Thr main issue i could see with younger players is that it is complex at first and the game takes a while. You may want to learn the rules well yourself and decide if you should adjust the game to be quicker.

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.
