Oh how I love this game!  My son and I have over 25 board and card games as part of our homeschool effort. In poor weather we often play 3 games a day.  This one is a particular favorite of mine because my 6 year old can play with a bit of help, but we will be able to play this at any age.  Also, from a homeschooling perspective, letting my son keep score is a great way to have him practice writing numbers and doing addition without realizing he is learning.  I think the box is absolutely enormous and the game is too heavy for us to take anywhere, but this is a frequently reached for game in our house.  If you are looking for games with some substance (I hate 90% of the garbage games sold in discount stores) this is a sure bet!
