I see the game is appropriate for children ages 10-15, but most of the reviews refer to adult playing this game. Would it be suitable for kids 9 & up?

Maybe -- it would for some kids in that age group. With good support from adults playing with them, it could be a fun experience for them - and the adults.

Its a good game but the questions r geared more for very smart kids or adults.

This game could be appropriate for intelligent children who don't mind getting a few wrong. The political, TV/film, and Literature questions can be challenging, but many of the other categories are a little more about just general knowledge that you learn in school.

This is a trivia game that asks questions similar to that of Trivial Pursuit. I would not recommend this game for most children, but I do find it quite enjoyable to play.

It wouldn't be inappropriate for a 9 year old, but I don't think they'd know many answers which may be frustrating for them. The questions really run the gamut from pop culture (not just today's pop culture), world and american history, health/biology type questions, architecture, literature, etc.

I agree - it's too bad the game isn't more prominently flagged other than "Manufacturers Suggested Age: 17". The game is a lot of fun (with the right crowd, in small doses) - and definitely not for younger kids. That's what Apples to Apples is for.

yes it is suitable for an 8 year old. we played it with my granddaughter. and she is 8 yrs. old. She loved playing it. The more people that play the more fun it is.

In my opinion, any child from 1-2 and up would have fun playing with it, however, it has small coins that they can put in their mouth, I would say its safe for kids older than 3. My 5 year old got it for Christmas last year, and seems like she will be enjoying it for many years to come since she loves to play store.

It says age 7 and up but my 5 year old enjoys it too. Fun for a 2 player adult game also. Easy to learn.

I think it is geared towards kids but it's certainly fun for all ages. We (my husband and I) play with our 6, 10, and 13 year old. Our 6 year old often beats us and it's not for our lack of trying! But it's still fun for us!

YES, It is primarily for kids...you guess if you're a ladder, a cheeseburger, a dog, etc. Adults can play this with the kids for sure and it be fun enough. BUT, I purchased this for my kids. Just so you know, the 4 year old pretty much just tells everyone what they are, so ages 6 and up would be what I would consider this game.

Our family loved the game but my niece is 18. There are a lot of pop culture references that are older so its harder for young kids to get clues like "Neil Diamond". Don't let it stop you because we can bridge the gap. I am thinking 10 and up!

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 he would be too young. I have a 6 and an 8 year old. We played it with the 8 year old, who can read. She enjoyed it the first time and we went easy on her, since we knew her routes. (We had to explain it to her as we went along.) Then we let her play it without our help and she ended up crying because she was so disappointed to not play so well. It's a great game but my kids are both too young for it yet.

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 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.

Possibly. Suitable based on content? Yes. Suitable based on difficulty? Maybe.To be clear this is not a stand alone game and it requires the game 7 Wonders. If the kid in question is familiar with 7 Wonders than this expansion should be a breeze for a 7-8 year old.The game itself is quite fun and even if a 7-8 year old doesn't initially "get" it, I don't see why they couldn't after some trial and error. It's a great way to teach strategy, awareness, and a good time around a table.

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!

This game can be played by both of the groups that you have proposed here, equally well. I haven't played with any kids under 13, and the 13 year old loves it, so I suspect the minimum age might be around 8 or 10.

My son is 6 and my daughter is 8. Their friends have played it and loved it. My husband and I have played it and some of our friends and loved it. I think six ( any younger they might be to short) and older would be great.

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+
