Simply put, this game is for all ages.  Just a delight to play, so easy to learn, but with so many twist and turns.  There is usually no clear winner till the very end of the game.  When the game is finally completed, with a 'surprise' winner so many times, I am always reminded of what Yogi Berra said: "It aint over till the fat lady sings."  I usually don't get to sing, but this is still a fascinating game.
