It is hard to find a game for kids and adults to play together, but this game is great!  It is challenging and educational for kids.  I played it with a 5 year old and 8 year old and they both loved it and only needed a few reminders of the rules.  It teaches patterns, and is very fun.  It is really well made too, nowadays most things are so cheap but this game is wonderful.  A great game to purchase for a family!
