what age group for this game

I'd say if the child can play Monopoly independently, he/she can play this. It's a fantastic strategy game, and no two games are alike.

The box doesn't list age groups. I would say at least 10. There is a kids version.

I have an eight year old that loves it but we have to explain it to remind him of the rules.

I think a kid as young as 10 has played. Not sure how much enjoyment anyone younger than that will get out of it. Basically, if they are old enough to play Risk they may have fun.

I would say probably 12 and up, definitely a little in depth for any younger, maybe even too much so for 12

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.

I've played 7 Wonders with 7 & 8yo's. It's a little rough for that age group. Remember, this is an expansion to the main 7 Wonders game, so if they can play the main game, adding this shouldn't be a problem. The best thing about the game is even adults have a hard time figuring out if they're winning until the end, so even playing with younger players can be fun.

The box says 8 and up, and I completely agree. The average eight year old who enjoys challenging games would be perfectly capable of doing well playing this game. But don't let that fool you -- my husband and I have played countless times with intelligent adults who absolutely love the game, too! It can be a challenge, depending on how deep your 'strategizing' goes.

By the rules about 4-10. There is a younger version made and the game could be adapted for older children by making it a competitive challenge against the programming skill of an adult or another older child

The game is for at least two players, but it can be played by different aged children. For example, my 2nd grader can play against my 6th grader because there are different questions for the different ages.

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.

My 3 year old and 5 year old played with it for a half hour and haven't touched it since. It would be age appropriate if they like it as mine is gathering dust.

My eight-year-old enjoys this, but it was bought for my five-year-old and the 8-year-old mainly plays with his younger brother. I think the game is still fun for older kids, but it is designed for pre-school kids.

My kids have played it and they are 5 and 7. My 5 year old picked the rules up pretty fairly quickly and my 7 year old figured it out right away. Both of them enjoyed it a lot. I imagine ages 4-10 would be a good range.

5 year olds consistently request this game. They can team up with an adult, or play it on their own. I've tested it with over 500 kids, so I should know.Cheers!Dominic CrapuchettesDesigner of Wits & Wagers and Say Anything

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.

the ages are whatever the description says. I can tell you that my daughter is in second grade and is playing the game together with all of us adults. we kind of all help each other so it becomes a little more fun. when we're at the final stages of the game we all kind of open up our car than everybody brainstorms to see what's the best word for that person to make. Not very competitive i know but when we're playing with our children it makes everything more fun. by the way we absolutely love this game

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.

No it is not correct. It has some crude humor in it. I would say 14 - any age. My friends and I are in our 20's and we love it. This game, while simple in its nature, takes a lot of strategic planning in order to win, as everyone is against each other. Though if a 10 year old got good at it, they would probably really advanced in their processing abilities later in life.

The game if played as is, would be appropriate for young children through maybe 7 or 8. Older, depending on the developmental age and ability of of the child. I have modified it by making my own cards for the doors (a simple word template and import your own pictures, numbers, categories, etc.) so it works for older 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.
