I'm reintroducing this game to my boys and my niece (my sister and I used to play this when we were kids.)  We had so much fun setting it up - it brought back so many memories.  And we really enjoyed watching our kids see it all work for the first time.  They were amazed.  And even though they are under the recommended age of 6 - they were able to set it up and make it work on their own after the first few times.
