The first time we played this game with my 7 and 10 year old daughter they didn't like it and were easily distracted.  We played it the next day and they really thought it was fun.  The math from adding who was winning was easy for each girl and after everyone had a couple of turns we stopped and had the kids add up who was ahead.  You definitely need an adult to explain it the first few times but after that they get the idea.  I like where it takes them and would recommend it to other families.
