This game is very versatile in changing game play to be appropriate for different ages. I ordered this game as a gift for my 5 yr old son. He plays this game all the time at a friend's house. He loves it and gets it out of the game cabinet every chance he gets. The pieces are quite small, so I wouldn't have ordered it for anyone younger than him, but there is no reading required, so with adult supervision, any child can play. This game encourages logical and analytical thinking. With the smallest children, it is a study in recognizing their colors. With older players, you can really challenge each other.
