We got this for our 7 year old daughter this past Christmas and she loves it!  In fact, we all love this game.  It took her a few games to realize the strategy part of it, but now that she's figured that out, she seriously kicks butt playing this!  She absolutely loves to yell "Qwirkle" and has become rather skilled at getting them!  She asks to play this game every day.  Even my {almost} two year old enjoys sitting and matching the shapes and colors {with supervision of course}.  We had our neighbors over one evening and they and their eight year old loved it so much they went out and bought it the next day.  It's no wonder this game has received its awards and excellent rating ... This truly is a fun and educational game for ALL ages. If your family is into playing games, other than video, I highly recommend getting Qwirkle.
