Excellent game for anyone. Its VERY easy to learn, VERY easy to play and can be some what challenging at the same time. Game play is very much using your five  tiles to play either matching colors OR matching shapes to score points. The more tiles you play and affect on the game board the more points you receive. It is durable as all items are thick wooden pieces painted and it comes in a cotton bag to hold it all. I've taken it to the bar once or twice as drunk people cannot hold a discussion but can play this game.
