I bought this game for my boys, 9 and 4.  I wanted something fun that the whole family could play together... which is sometimes difficult to find since the youngest can't read yet.  I wasn't sure if this would be too hard or not for the 4-year-old, but he seemed to catch on pretty fast and he really enjoyed it!  Now and again he would ask for help, but that didn't seem to bother him, since he actually got to play by himself and didn't have to be on anyone's "team".  Anyway a couple of the other adults who played this game liked it so much they're going to purchase it themselves.  It really is fun!
