I have bought every game that this company offers & I love each one. This one takes a bit longer to play then the others, but it's just as much fun. I believe game play has been covered. Yes the pieces are small & not heavy cardboard. However we haven't had any problems with them & we play the games all the time. My oldest son has autism & a game really has to be interesting to keep his focus. He loves & plays all of the Family Pastimes games. He quickly loses interest with a regular roll the dice & move type board game. Please also check out all the other offers from this company. My boys are ages 5 & 7. They can easily play all the Family Pastimes games. As stated the older one is special needs. I was so happy to finally find a set of games that he enjoys so we can do something together as a family. I suggest these games to those who have children who are high functioning autistic & ADHD. (of course I suggest them for normal functioning children as well)
