<i>BTW, what is the recommended age range? I have an 8- and a 6-year old at home that I'm slowly exposing to non-mainstream games like this.</i>

The box says 8+, though to be honest I generally find those age ranges dubious, which is why I don't include them in my reviews any more.

What the game really requires is:
* An attention span of 30-60 minutes
* Very simple pattern matching skills
* The analytical ability to correlate the placement of a piece with the acquisition of points down the road

Probably either of your kids will be able to do the first two tasks, and enjoy them. I don't really know where the third one comes in, developmentally, though I'd take Scott's response that he played with his 8-year-old.
