We bought this based off of reviews from a great board game review website, but in the interest of trying to maintain the guidelines for review won't mention the site at this time.  :)  But we also looked at reviews on here and that cinched it for us.  Once we opened the pack we played it over and over and even play it when friends come over.  In fact, we let some friends borrow it some time back and it hasn't returned yet.  lol  There is some reading involved so if you have children that are just beginning it might be a neat way to help them along, but wouldn't recommend it for children who are too young to really read well, unless it is just the two of you playing and you want to use it to help them enjoy reading.  Having said all of that I don't want to give the impression there is a lot of reading involved like a novel level.  Just that each card has a little information on them that involves game play.  So enjoy!  We sure do.  Oh we also picked up the regular Flux version and it is also great fun!
